Real-world Applications of Hydraulic Cartridge Valves in Heavy-Duty Machinery

What Are Hydraulic Cartridge Valves?

Hydraulic cartridge valves are compact, screw-in valves used to control flow, pressure, and direction within hydraulic systems. They are designed to be inserted into standardized cavities within valve blocks or manifolds, providing a flexible and modular solution for system designers.

At Longerfa, our threaded cartridge valvesare engineered for durability, performance, and easy maintenance. We offer a complete line of valve types including pressure relief valves, flow control valves, solenoid-operated valves, and Check Valves—each tailored for demanding industrial tasks.

1. Hydraulic Elevators: Enhancing Safety and Control

In vertical transportation systems like hydraulic elevators, precision and safety are paramount. Cartridge valves regulate oil flow and pressure to ensure smooth acceleration, deceleration, and accurate leveling at each floor.

Longerfa’s valves are trusted in elevator systems due to their:

• Leak-free operation

• Precise flow control

• Fast response times

These characteristics reduce mechanical stress on elevator components and improve passenger safety.

2. Injection Molding Machines: Boosting Productivity

In the plastic manufacturing sector, injection molding machines rely on high-speed, high-pressure hydraulic systems to inject molten materials into molds. Our hydraulic cartridge valves ensure consistent clamping force, pressure regulation, and accurate mold movements.

Longerfa’s products support:

• Energy efficiency

• Cycle time reduction

• Temperature and pressure stability

This translates into higher throughput and better product consistency for manufacturers.

3. Power Units: Compact Powerhouses for Multiple Applications

Hydraulic power units are the core source of energy for various machines. These units depend on well-coordinated valve systems to deliver hydraulic power safely and efficiently.

Longerfa’s valve blocks and cartridge valves enable:

• Compact system design

• Modular integration

• Low maintenance operations

They are widely used in mobile equipment, agricultural machines, and industrial presses, making Longerfa a go-to solution provider in this segment.

4. Plate Shears and Bending Machines: Precision Cutting and Forming

Metal fabrication machines such as plate shears and bending machines require precise timing and force control to maintain accuracy and operator safety.

Longerfa’s hydraulic solutions help manufacturers achieve:

• High tonnage force control

• Repeatable operation cycles

• Enhanced system longevity

Our threaded cartridge valves contribute to streamlined hydraulic circuits, reducing potential leak points and improving overall system reliability.

5. Custom Valve Groups: Tailored for Unique Industrial Needs

Longerfa Hydraulic also offers custom hydraulic valve groups designed for specific industrial applications. Whether it’s for a complex mobile crane, a high-pressure compactor, or a multi-stage forming press, our engineers work closely with clients to design valve assemblies that fit their exact operational parameters.

With advanced CNC machining and precision testing equipment, Longerfa ensures every product delivered meets the highest standards of quality and functionality.
