Hydraulic Flow valves

Hydraulic flow valves can be distinguished in throttles, orifices and flow control valves. The function of these components is to control the speed of the actuators (motor, cylinder). Unlike throttles or orifices, Flow control valves can control the volume flow and therefore the speed regardless of load.
