Question by: Ralph P on Aug 2, 2025, 5:25 PM
Will this work for a die casting machine?
Answer by: Customer Support on Aug 3, 2025, 7:01 PM
Yes, this Vickers KCG-3 proportional valve is suitable for die casting and foundry applications, as well as machine tools, marine/offshore setups, presses, primary metal, paper, test equipment, simulation, and turbine control systems.
Question by: Shawn R on May 29, 2025, 1:20 PM
What kind of applications is this valve actually built for? We run a pretty mixed shop and trying to figure out if it fits our setup.
Answer by: Customer Support on May 31, 2025, 11:31 AM
Quite a few industrial environments are a good match for this one. The KCG-3 covers die casting and foundry work, machine tool applications, press use, marine and offshore use, primary metal and paper processing, test equipment and simulation rigs, and turbine control systems including wind, steam, and water. If your shop touches any of those, it's worth a closer look.

i keep seeing “without OBE” on these KCG-3 valves, what does that mean in plain terms?
Answer by: Customer Support on Apr 23, 2025, 7:50 AM
Without OBE means it is the version that does not come with onboard electronics built into the valve. It is still a direct-acting proportional valve, but the electronics are not integrated on the unit.
