The HYTORC HV6 is a manual disc directional valve designed for high-pressure hydraulic control and distribution at up to 700 bar. Its compact aluminum body and CETOP flange mounting make it suitable for integration into industrial, mining, and heavy hydraulic tooling systems where reliable manual flow direction control is required.

What makes the disc valve design suitable for 700 bar operation?

Unlike spool valves, disc valves use a flat rotating disc to direct flow between ports. This design provides leak-free sealing at extreme pressures because the disc face is pressed against the valve seat by system pressure itself. The low operating force required to rotate the disc also enables manual operation even at full working pressure, making the HV6 practical for mobile and field-service hydraulic equipment.

How does the HV6 handle single and double-acting cylinders?

Available in 3-position 3-way and 3-position 4-way configurations, the HV6 covers both single-acting (advance/hold/retract) and double-acting (extend/hold/retract) hydraulic circuits. An optional locking mechanism secures the lever in the neutral position, preventing unintended actuation under vibration or load.
