Designed specifically for compact mobile machinery, such as small aerial platforms, mini-excavators, and specialized agricultural equipment, the PVG 16 provides smooth, predictable control of hydraulic actuators. Its modular architecture mirrors the legendary PVG 32 but scales down the flow capacity to ensure maximum resolution in fine-tuning movements. By isolating individual work functions from fluctuating load pressures, the PVG 16 guarantees consistent performance across all hydraulic operations. This valve group allows engineers to build highly customized control solutions that integrate seamlessly with electronic control systems, ensuring that even the smallest machines benefit from the highest standards of hydraulic efficiency and operator safety.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCore Technical Advantages\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePrecision Low-Flow Metering\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe PVG 16 hardware features specialized spool geometries that facilitate exceptional control at low flow rates. This allows operators to perform micro-adjustments and delicate maneuvers that larger valves cannot match. Each module provides independent pressure compensation, ensuring that the flow remains proportional to the input signal regardless of the load or the activation of other functions in the valve stack.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eUltra-Compact Modular Footprint\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe reduced physical size of the PVG 16 modules enables installation in extremely tight spaces without compromising on functionality. The modular \"building block\" system allows for the combination of up to 12 valve sections. This compact design reduces the overall machine weight and simplifies hydraulic hose routing, making it the ideal choice for modern, space-constrained mobile equipment designs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSeamless Electronic Integration\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEquipped with PVE digital actuators, the PVG 16 integrates directly into PLUS+1® and other CAN-bus control architectures. The internal feedback mechanism monitors the spool position in real-time, correcting for flow variances and providing the diagnostic data necessary for advanced machine monitoring. This high level of controllability ensures the valve group meets the requirements of semi-autonomous and fully automated machinery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"firstRow\"\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeature\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMax Pump Pressure\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003e350 bar (5075 psi)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMax Work Port Pressure\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003e350 bar (5075 psi)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRated Flow (Pump)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUp to 70 L\/min\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRated Flow (Work Port)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUp to 40 L\/min\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSection Width\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e40 mm\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTotal Height\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e122 mm\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTotal Depth\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e155 mm\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStandard Section Weight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2.2 kg\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFluid Temperature Range\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003e-30 °C to 90 °C\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOil Cleanliness Level\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eISO 4406 18\/16\/13\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eEngineering Installation Guide\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDimensional Calculation for Enclosures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen planning your installation, calculate the total stack width (W) to ensure proper clearance within the machine chassis.

Its ruggedized, corrosion-resistant housing stands up to the harshest outdoor environments, from salt-spray coastal projects to dusty agricultural fields. The valve’s internal pressure compensation prevents the dangerous \"speed-up\" of actuators that can occur when a heavy load is lowered, ensuring total operator control at all times. By standardizing on the PVG 16, OEMs gain access to a globally-supported platform that simplifies spare parts management while providing the high-resolution control required for sophisticated mobile automation and ergonomic joystick interfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDelivery \u0026amp; Logistics\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDelivery time:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e3-5 days when payment finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShipping Carriers:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eBY DHL\/FEDEX\/UPS.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePackaging:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eWe utilize\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003emoisture-barrier anti-static wrapping\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eand high-strength reinforced industrial boxing.
