Product Overview
The HYDRAFORCE PD16-S60N-60 is a piloted directional control valve from the HydraForce PD16 series, engineered for precise control of hydraulic actuator motion in demanding industrial circuits. This valve utilizes a pilot-operated spool design, where an external or internal pilot pressure signal shifts the main spool to direct flow between ports. The PD16-S60N-60 is a 4-way, 3-position valve with a closed-center spool configuration, providing reliable load holding and precise directional control. Its robust construction and industry-standard 16-size cavity make it a direct-fit solution for a wide range of mobile and industrial hydraulic systems requiring dependable, high-flow directional control.
