Product Overview
The Eaton DPS2-16-F-F-0-160 is a high-performance proportional directional valve from the Vickers DPS2 series, engineered for precise electro-hydraulic control of flow direction and magnitude in demanding industrial hydraulic systems. Utilizing a robust spool-and-sleeve design with proportional solenoid actuation, this valve delivers infinitely variable flow control proportional to the electrical input signal, enabling smooth acceleration and deceleration of actuators without shock or pressure spikes. The DPS2-16-F-F-0-160 is a direct-operated, two-stage proportional directional valve with a nominal size of NG16 (CETOP 7 / ISO 4401-07), featuring a spring-centered spool with fail-safe return to neutral upon signal loss. With a rated flow capacity of 160 L/min and a maximum operating pressure of 315 bar, this valve is ideally suited for high-cycle industrial applications requiring accurate velocity and position control, including injection molding machines, hydraulic presses, and advanced motion control systems. As a genuine Vickers by Eaton component, it ensures drop-in compatibility with existing DPS2 series installations and is supported by Eaton’s global service network.
