Product Overview
The Woodward VUM-U937A/EH is a high-performance electro-hydraulic proportional directional valve engineered for precise flow and directional control in demanding industrial hydraulic systems. As part of Woodward’s renowned VUM series, this valve utilizes a robust proportional solenoid actuator coupled with a precision-machined spool and sleeve assembly to deliver infinitely variable flow control proportional to the electrical input signal. The VUM-U937A/EH is designed to interface seamlessly with modern proportional amplifier cards and closed-loop control systems, making it an ideal choice for applications requiring accurate velocity, position, and force regulation. Its electro-hydraulic actuation principle ensures fast dynamic response, minimal hysteresis, and excellent repeatability, positioning it as a critical component in advanced motion control architectures across industries such as plastic injection molding, metallurgical processing, and heavy-duty CNC machinery.
