Ball valves provide reliable on/off control of hydraulic flow, allowing for quick isolation of fluid lines during maintenance or emergencies. Flow control valves, on the other hand, regulate the speed and direction of hydraulic fluid, enabling smooth and accurate movement of machinery components such as booms, arms, and buckets.
Ball valves play a crucial role in operating an excavator's hydraulic thumb by controlling the flow of hydraulic fluid to the thumb attachment. Ball valves provide a reliable on/off mechanism, allowing operators to engage or disengage the thumb's movement as needed. By isolating or directing hydraulic pressure, ball valves enable precise control of the thumb's gripping and releasing actions, enhancing the excavator's versatility for tasks like picking, holding, or moving materials. Their durability and ability to handle high-pressure systems make ball valves a key component in ensuring smooth and efficient operation of hydraulic thumbs.
Valves ensure smooth operation of lifting booms and load-handling mechanisms, while in load lifts, they support precise control and safety by maintaining or releasing hydraulic pressure as needed. Their robust design and reliability under high pressures make ball valves indispensable in lifting heavy loads securely and efficiently. Thus ensuring enough load carrying capacity without any pressure drop.
Special Aluminium Ball valve with pressure relief valve is used on the Road milling machines. Thus ensuring light weight and easy operation with a fail safe feature added witht help of pressure relief valve.
