Designed for demanding hydraulic circuit applications, the Vickers DGMC2 3 AB GH BA GH is a SystemStak directional control valve built to the 41 Design series standard. With a flow capacity of 60 litres per minute and Buna-N seals, it is well-suited for use across die casting and foundry environments, machine tool circuits, marine and offshore installations, press systems, primary metal and paper processing, test and simulation equipment, and turbine control systems covering wind, steam, and water applications.
As part of the Vickers SystemStak valve family, this unit reduces installation costs by allowing stacked circuit configurations, eliminating external leakage paths and boosting resistance to contamination compared to traditional manifold or individual valve arrangements. The 1.87-inch product width reflects its compact form factor within the stack assembly.
flow rate on this valve is listed at 60 litres per minute -- is that enough for a typical press circuit or machine tool setup?

For most press and machine tool applications, 60 litres per minute is right in the working range. These circuits rarely need more than that through a directional control valve at this stack size, so you're not likely to run into a bottleneck there. The SystemStak design also helps keep things clean by eliminating external leakage paths, which matters a lot in press environments where contamination can cause headaches fast.
