Cartridge Direct-Acting Sequence Valves

Compact Control for Hydraulic Flow Sequencing

Cartridge direct-acting sequence valves are designed to ensure that hydraulic fluid flows in a predetermined sequence, triggered by a rise in pressure. As a subcategory of cartridge valves, they are compact, efficient, and easily integrated into hydraulic manifolds or blocks, making them ideal for systems where space-saving and modularity are important.

At Hydraulics Online, we supply cartridge sequence valves from a wide range of global manufacturers including Hydraforce and many others… with expert advice to help you select the right valve for your application.

These valves open when system pressure reaches a set level, allowing fluid to flow to the next actuator in sequence. Their direct-acting design means they respond immediately to pressure changes without requiring pilot operation, making them well-suited for circuits where fast response and compact installation are critical.

They are commonly used to:

Control actuator sequencing – ensuring one actuator operates only after another has completed its movement.
Manage multi-function systems – directing flow to different actuators in a controlled order.

Simplify hydraulic circuits – reducing external piping by integrating into manifolds.

Compact cartridge design – integrates seamlessly into hydraulic manifolds.
Fast response – direct-acting mechanism reacts quickly to pressure rises.
Controlled sequencing – ensures actuators operate in the correct order.
Energy efficiency – prevents wasted energy by directing flow only when needed.

Reliable performance – built for demanding industrial and mobile environments.

These valves are widely used in:

They are particularly valuable in systems requiring precise sequencing of multiple actuators.

How do sequence valves differ from unloading valves? Sequence valves control the order of actuator operation, while unloading valves divert fluid back to the reservoir when demand is low.

Can cartridge sequence valves be integrated into manifolds? Yes! Their cartridge design makes them ideal for manifold installation, reducing external piping.

Are direct-acting sequence valves suitable for high-pressure systems? Absolutely! They are designed to perform reliably under demanding operating conditions.
