Parameter Specification / Description Manufacturer & Model Eaton DPS2-16-F-F-0-160 Valve Series / Type DPS2 – Modular Load-Sensing, Pressure-Compensated Directional Control Valve Section Function Single Spool Work Section (for controlling one double-acting cylinder or motor) Nominal Flow Rate 16 US gallons per minute (gpm) per section [Approx. 60 liters per minute (l/min)] Maximum Flow Capacity Typically up to 1.2-1.5 times the nominal flow. Maximum Operating Pressure (Main Ports) Up to 350 bar (5,076 psi) Pilot Pressure Requirement Typically 35 - 40 bar (508 - 580 psi) for reliable main spool actuation. Load-Sense (LS) Signal Pressure Equal to the highest working pressure among active functions (selected via shuttle valves). Compensator Type Three-way pressure compensator to maintain constant ΔP across metering edges. Spool Type Code (Interpreted) F (First occurrence): Likely defines a specific spool pattern (e.g., for excavator stick/boom/arm with regeneration, float positions). Must be verified with catalog. Pilot Control Code (Interpreted) F (Second occurrence): Likely defines the pilot control mechanism. Could indicate a specific electro-hydraulic (EH) proportional pilot valve configuration. Work Port Size (A & B) Typically 3/4" - 16 SAE Straight Threads (O-ring seal) for this flow size. Internal Passage Connection Standard SAE porting for interconnection between valve sections. Body Material Ductile Iron or Cast Steel Seal Material Standard Buna-N (Nitrile) for petroleum-based hydraulic fluids.
