Question by: Daryl H on Oct 14, 2025, 6:10 AM

flow rate on this valve is listed at 75 LPM -- that enough for a press application or is that gonna be cutting it close?

Answer by: Customer Support on Oct 15, 2025, 8:25 PM

For most press setups, 75 liters per minute is a solid working flow rate. The DG18V line was built with press applications specifically in mind, so that rating isn't just a number on a shelf -- it reflects real-world use in that kind of environment. Whether it's enough depends on your system's demand, but press work is one of the core applications this valve was developed around, so you're in the right ballpark.

Yes, this Vickers directional control valve is definitely suitable for machine tool applications, along with die casting, marine/offshore environments, presses, primary metal processing, paper manufacturing, test equipment, simulation, and turbine control applications.
