Product Overview
The Eaton Vickers DGMX2 3 PP BK B 40 is a modular pressure reducing valve from the proven DGMX2 series, engineered to deliver precise secondary pressure control within high-pressure industrial hydraulic circuits. As a sandwich-mounted modular valve, it interfaces directly between a directional control valve and a standard ISO 4401 / CETOP subplate, reducing a higher primary system pressure to a stable, adjustable secondary pressure for downstream branches. The “3 PP” configuration denotes a 3-chamber pressure reducing function with a specific spring range, while “BK B” indicates the adjustment and sealing options and “40” designates the nominal size (NG10 / CETOP 5 interface). This valve is a core component in systems requiring dependable pressure regulation, actuator force control, and protection of low-pressure sub-circuits from over-pressurization.
