VICKERS KCG 8 W250 3 Z M U

Description & Features

Designed for demanding industrial environments, the Vickers KCG 8 W250 3 Z M U is a direct-acting proportional valve rated for flow up to 400 litres per minute. It is available in three performance levels, ultra, high, and standard, allowing selection to match specific application requirements without over-specifying the system.

Plug-and-play functionality reduces commissioning time, making this valve well suited to applications where setup efficiency matters. Buna-N seals provide reliable compatibility across a broad range of hydraulic fluids. Typical applications include die casting and foundry equipment, machine tools, press systems, primary metal and paper processing, marine and offshore installations, test and simulation equipment, and turbine control for wind, steam, and water turbines.

three performance levels listed here -- what actually changes between 'em, and how do you pick the right one for a press application?
Answer by: Customer Support on Sep 28, 2025, 8:48 AM
Ultra, high, and standard refer to performance tiers that let you match the valve's capability to what your system actually demands. For press work, the right choice comes down to how precise and responsive your control needs to be. If you're running tight tolerances or fast cycle changes, the ultra level gives you more headroom. Standard works fine where the control requirements are less demanding and you don't need to pay for performance you won't use. The valve tops out at 400 litres per minute regardless of tier, so flow capacity stays the same across all three.
