A new proportional control and zero leakage type EMP valve from HAWE Hydraulics, Charlotte, N.C., enables particularly sensitive load lifting and lowering. The valve is ideal for use in cranes, general lifting devices such as lifting tables, and industrial trucks. It allows for sensitive shifting combined with zero leakage in the blocked shifting position.
The EMP valve allows flow rates up to 21 gpm and an operating pressure up to 5,800 psi. The valve cone and seat are constructed of hardened steel, and provide extended life cycle with minimal maintenance. Features include two switching options: a soft shift or hydraulically dampened switch and a proportional switch.
Designed to meet a wide range of needs, the EMP valve is available in two sizes, each with different aperture diameters to enable optimal switching in accordance with project requirements. The valve can be controlled using a matching proportional amplifier.
The EMP valve is well-suited for a wide range of connection blocks for either pipe connection or banjo bolt mounting. Additional options include a drain valve, by-pass throttle, pressure switch, and a 2-way flow control valve.
