Cartridge Valve Normally Opened

Cartridge Valve (Normally Open) is a type of hydraulic valve that, in its default state, allows fluid to flow through it. When an external control signal, such as pressure or an electrical command, is applied, the valve closes, stopping the flow of fluid.

Key Features:

• Compact Design: Cartridge valves are small and can be easily integrated into hydraulic manifolds or modular systems.
• Normally Open Operation: In its default state, the valve allows fluid to flow freely through the system until activated to close.
• Wide Pressure Range: These valves are built to operate under a wide range of pressures.
• Multiple Control Options: Can be controlled by solenoids, pressure signals, or pilot valves.

Benefits:

• Continuous Flow: Ideal for applications where fluid flow is required at all times and should only be stopped when necessary.
• Simplified System Design: The normally open configuration allows for a more straightforward design of hydraulic systems that need to maintain pressure.
• Energy Efficiency: As the valve stays open in its natural state, energy is only required when the valve is commanded to close.
• Versatile Application: Can be used in various hydraulic circuits, including industrial, mobile equipment, and load-holding systems.
• Fail-Safe Operation: In case of power loss or system failure, the valve remains open.
