Optimization of Hydraulic Systems with Cartridge Valves

Energy conservation, power savings is big news these days. All new hydraulic systems must be designed to fit into this overall national policy. This can be accomplished by using a total package approach to hydraulic system design. An optimum combination of cartridge valves in an integrated circuit will provide system energy conservation, control costs, reduce installation labor, reduce field maintainence and down time.

This paper summarizes the effort required to develop an optimum, integrated hydraulic circuit using cartridge valves and the advantages obtained with this approach.
