Product Overview
The Danfoss 157B3171 is a precision-engineered proportional valve spool designed for use within Danfoss proportional directional control valve platforms. As a critical metering component, this spool governs the direction and magnitude of hydraulic flow in direct proportion to an electrical input signal, enabling smooth, infinitely variable control of actuator speed, position, and force. Manufactured to Danfoss OEM tolerances, the 157B3171 spool is a direct-fit replacement component that restores precise flow metering characteristics, hysteresis performance, and repeatability to proportional valve assemblies used in demanding industrial hydraulic systems.
