Custom Hydraulic Cartridge Valve Manifold Blocks
JST Hydraulic designs and manufactures hydraulic manifold blocks and cartridge valve assemblies for compact hydraulic control systems. A custom manifold can integrate pressure control, flow control, directional control, load holding, anti-cavitation and safety functions into one machined block with clean oil routing and reliable sealing.
These products are used in hydraulic winches, wheel drives, slewing drives, power units, construction machinery, agricultural equipment, marine systems and industrial hydraulic equipment. JST Hydraulic can support valve selection, circuit review, port layout, material choice and machining according to customer drawings or functional requirements.
How to Specify a Hydraulic Manifold Block
- Hydraulic circuit: provide schematic, function description or target control logic.
- Pressure and flow: confirm rated pressure, peak pressure, maximum flow and oil type.
- Valve functions: define relief, check, counterbalance, flow control, directional control or proportional control needs.
- Port layout: specify port thread, port direction, mounting face and connection space.
- Material: choose aluminum, ductile iron or steel according to pressure, weight and corrosion requirement.
- Installation: confirm mounting holes, block envelope, sealing surface and service access.
- Testing: define pressure test, leakage test, cleanliness and documentation requirements.
Common Manifold and Cartridge Valve Functions
| Function | Typical use |
|---|---|
| Relief valve | System pressure protection and overload safety |
| Check valve | One-way flow control and circuit isolation |
| Counterbalance valve | Load holding and controlled lowering for winches and cylinders |
| Flow control valve | Speed regulation and actuator synchronization |
| Directional valve | Actuator direction control and circuit switching |
| Anti-cavitation valve | Motor or actuator protection during overrunning load conditions |
