flow rate on this valve is listed at 80 lpm -- is that enough for a press application or should i be looking at something bigger
Question by: Diane H on Feb 9, 2026, 6:24 AM
For most press circuits, 80 litres per minute is a solid working capacity, and the DG4V-3 series is explicitly rated for press applications. Whether that ceiling fits your setup depends on the demands of your specific circuit, but the valve was built with press use in mind, so the flow rating reflects real-world press conditions rather than just bench specs.

Can this handle continuous operation in a hydraulic press, or does it need cool-down periods?

Application-wise, this Vickers directional control valve can definitely be used in presses, along with machine tools, die casting setups, and even marine/offshore environments.
