what exactly makes this a "low leakage" version compared to a standard DG4V3 valve? trying to figure out if it's worth the difference for our application
Question by: Jerry H on Apr 24, 2025, 8:32 AM
Typical leakage on this valve runs about 5ml per minute per land at 100 bar, which is already notably tight. The key difference from a standard unit is that the spools have increased overlap built in, which cuts down on bypass leakage across the lands. The tradeoff is higher head loss, roughly double what you'd see on a standard valve, so flow resistance goes up in exchange for that tighter seal. For systems where even small leakage creates drift or efficiency problems, that's usually a worthwhile trade.
