SD_EN_2026_01
INTRODUCTION FLUIDS
SDL, SDM and SDS are sectional directional control valves.
They can be assembled in parallel with up to 10 working
sections. The same components allow creating series circuits
by inserting plugs in order to modify the oil path.
Working elements are available in two thicknesses with
working ports 3/8” BSP, 1/2” BSP, SAE-06 or SAE-08 threads.
Specific components for series circuits are available upon
request.

Use mineral oil-based hydraulic fluids HL or HM type,
according to ISO 6743-4. For these fluids, use NBR seals.
For fluids HFDR type (phosphate esters) use FPM seals (code
V). For other fluid types, such as HFA, HFB, or HFC, please
consult our technical department.
Operation with fluids at temperatures above 80°C (180°F) may
cause accelerated seal degradation, as well as deterioration of
the physical and chemical properties of the fluid.
Temperatures above 55°C (130°F) are not recommended for
safety reasons,
