Proportional Cartridge Directional 2/2 Way Valves - Normally Open

These valves are a type of cartridge valve that combine proportional control with a 2/2 way directional function.

Key features include:

• Proportional control – allows smooth, variable regulation of hydraulic flow.

• 2/2 way design – two ports and two positions for simple directional control.

• Normally open configuration – fluid flows freely until the valve is actuated.

• Compact cartridge format – fits directly into hydraulic manifolds for space-saving installation.

• Durable construction – engineered for continuous use in demanding environments.

• Precise regulation – enables fine control of hydraulic functions.

• Improved efficiency – proportional actuation reduces energy waste and enhances system responsiveness.

• Space-saving design – compact cartridge format simplifies installation.

• Reliable performance – ensures consistent operation under varying load conditions.

• Extended equipment life – reduces wear and mechanical stress on components.

These valves are widely used in industries and applications including:

• Construction and agricultural machinery

• Industrial automation and process control

• Marine and offshore hydraulic systems

• Mining and heavy industry equipment

• Energy and utility installations

They are particularly valuable in systems where smooth, proportional flow control is required with a normally open configuration.

We source proportional cartridge directional 2/2 way valves from a wide network of manufacturers, including:

• HydraForce – advanced cartridge valve technologies

• Parker, Wandfluh… and more.

As an independent supplier, we provide unbiased recommendations based on your system’s needs – not a manufacturer’s catalogue.

What does “normally open” mean in these valves? It means fluid flows freely through the valve until it is actuated to restrict or regulate flow.

Why choose proportional valves over standard directional valves? Proportional valves allow smooth, variable control rather than simple on/off operation.

Are these valves suitable for mobile equipment? Yes, they are widely used in mobile and agricultural machinery where precise flow control is essential.
