Hydraulic systems rely on various types of valves to control specific aspects of fluid flow. The main categories of hydro valves include direction control valves, pressure control valves, flow control valves, and safety valves. Each of these valves serves a distinct function and is tailored for specific needs within the system.

    Direction Control Valves (DCVs): Direction control valves are used to direct the flow of hydraulic fluid. They determine the path the fluid takes, whether it flows to an actuator or is redirected back into the reservoir. These valves typically come in several configurations, including 2-way, 3-way, 4-way, and more, depending on the number of flow paths required. They are essential for the operation of cylinders and motors, as they control the forward and reverse motions.
