Product Overview
The ATOS DKZOR-A-173-D5/18 40 is a high-performance proportional directional valve manufactured by Atos (a brand of the Bosch Rexroth Group), engineered for precise electro-hydraulic control of flow direction and magnitude in industrial hydraulic systems. This direct-operated proportional valve utilizes a precision-machined spool and sleeve assembly actuated by a proportional solenoid, enabling infinitely variable flow control proportional to the electrical input signal. The DKZOR series is specifically designed for open-loop applications requiring smooth, accurate directional control with minimal hysteresis and excellent repeatability. With a nominal flow capacity of 40 L/min and a maximum operating pressure of 350 bar, this valve serves as a critical control element in demanding hydraulic circuits where precise velocity and position regulation of actuators is essential.
