Directional Control Valves

Directional control valves are the backbone of hydraulic and pneumatic systems, managing the flow and direction of fluids to keep operations running smoothly. Whether you need to move a hydraulic cylinder, power a motor, or automate a system, these valves help direct fluid where it needs to go. They are essential in manufacturing, construction, and automation, ensuring precision and efficiency in fluid-powered equipment.

What Types of Directional Control Valves Are Available?

At Centro, we offer a variety of directional control valves to fit different system needs:

• Solenoid-operated valves – Use electrical signals for fast and automated fluid control.
• Manual directional valves – Controlled by hand levers or push buttons for simple, direct operation.
