Danfoss / Eaton Vickers DG5V-8-H Series

Description & Features

Designed for high-flow industrial hydraulic circuits, the Danfoss / Eaton Vickers DG5V-8-H Series is a two-stage directional control valve capable of handling flow rates up to 700 litres per minute. Buna-N seals provide reliable fluid compatibility across a broad range of hydraulic media, and a 30-watt solenoid rating supports straightforward electrical integration.

Available in three- or four-way configurations, this valve mounts on industry-standard surfaces, simplifying installation in new and existing systems. The DG5V-8-H is suited to demanding environments including press applications, machine tool circuits, primary metal processing, die casting and foundry equipment, marine and offshore installations, turbine control, and test and simulation rigs.

With thousands of model variants in the DG5V-8 range, this series is well established across heavy industrial sectors where precise directional control and high flow capacity are required in a single valve package.
