PSL and PSV – Proportional directional spool valve types
The HAWE PSL and PSV series are high-performance, modular, load-sensing proportional directional spool valves. They are designed to manage both the direction of movement and the stepless speed of multiple hydraulic consumers (like cylinders and motors) at the same time, completely independent of their individual loads.
- Operating Pressure : High Performance Range
- Application : Industrial & Mobile Systems
About this item
The proportional directional spool valve type PSL is suitable for constant pump systems and type PSV is for variable pump systems. The flow rates and load pressures for the individual consumers can be individually adjusted. The proportional directional spool valve type PSL and PSV can be adapted to various control tasks, e.g. for safety functions. All sizes can be combined with each other.
The proportional directional spool valve type PSL and PSV is used in mobile hydraulics, in particular in loading cranes, lifting platforms, municipal trucks, construction machines, drilling equipment and machines for forestry and agricultural purposes.
