Product Overview
The Vickers EPV16-A-00-24D-S-U-13 is a high-performance electro-proportional cartridge valve engineered by Vickers (Eaton) for precise, infinitely variable control of hydraulic flow and pressure within demanding industrial circuits. Operating on a two-stage electro-proportional principle, the valve converts a proportional electrical input signal into a continuously modulated hydraulic output, allowing seamless command of actuator speed, force, and position. Its slip-in cartridge construction enables compact manifold mounting, reducing system footprint and leak paths while delivering the fast dynamic response and low hysteresis required for closed-loop proportional control. The EPV16 series is a trusted solution for OEM and MRO applications where accurate, repeatable electro-hydraulic modulation is critical to machine performance.

Engineering Features & Advantages
- Precision Proportional Metering: Continuously variable spool positioning delivers smooth, stepless control of flow and pressure, eliminating the shock and chatter associated with on/off directional valves.
- Fast Dynamic Response: Optimized magnetic circuit and low-inertia spool design provide rapid response to command signal changes, ideal for closed-loop position, velocity, and force control.
- Low Hysteresis & High Repeatability: Tight manufacturing tolerances ensure consistent output for a given input current, supporting accurate, repeatable machine cycles.
- Compact Cartridge Construction: Slip-in design reduces manifold size, minimizes external leakage paths, and simplifies installation and service compared to line-mounted valves.
- Industrial Reliability: Built for continuous operation under severe industrial conditions, with robust solenoid and hardened spool/body interfaces for long service life.
- Direct Fit Replacement: Precision-manufactured to original VICKERS specifications for direct replacement, minimising downtime and eliminating fitment issues.
Typical Industrial Applications
The EPV16 series is a trusted solution for OEM and MRO applications where accurate, repeatable electro-hydraulic modulation is critical to machine performance.
