flow rate on this valve is listed at 80 LPM -- is that enough for most press or machine tool setups running standard cycles?
Question by: Jimmy M on Feb 14, 2026, 6:35 PM
For the majority of press and machine tool applications running at typical production speeds, 80 litres per minute gives you solid working capacity. That flow rating covers a wide range of single-stage directional control tasks without becoming a bottleneck. Where you'd start to feel a pinch is in high-demand multi-actuator setups that pile flow requirements on top of each other, but for a standard press or machining center this valve handles the job without issue.
