Here’s another Flint Hydraulics Tech Tip: Mobile directional control valves are designed to avoid messy installations that industrial control valves require. Worse than the appearance of such an installation are the negative functional consequences: hydraulic system inefficiency (manifested in excessive heat, noise and fuel usage); system damage (shortened pump life, broken hydraulic lines, cracked cylinders, hydraulic oil degradation, etc.); inadequate control (slow blade response, jerky blade movement, inability to hold blade position, overshooting, etc.)
