Preferred design for hydraulic valve assemblies

Mar 18, 2026

The design of hydraulic valve assemblies begins with the dimensions of the hydraulic valves themselves. The length, width, and height of a hydraulic valve assembly are generally determined by the size of the components that make up the assembly.

 

For example, the height of the hydraulic valve assembly should, as far as possible, match the height of the components without affecting its actual function. The length of the hydraulic valve assembly is determined by the diameter or length of the screw holes, without affecting the layout and structure. The factors determining the width of the hydraulic valve assembly are roughly the same as those determining its length. Next, we introduce dimensioning. This step is mainly used in design drawings, where the ports, orifice diameters, dimensions of each assembly, and other specifications of components need to be marked. Finally, there is the design of the channels. The most important aspect of this design is the layout. A comprehensive overall arrangement of the system is necessary, classifying the oil circuits. First, the main oil circuits must be unobstructed, and then smaller or other oil circuits should be gradually connected. When designing the channels for these hydraulic valves, it is essential to ensure appropriate lengths, minimal bends, and suitable orifice sizes. This is crucial for effectively controlling the weight, size, and volume of the hydraulic valve assembly and for its efficient utilization.
