VFD190 series variable priority flow dividers

Webtec Deliver More Power for Less!

Hydraulic engineers in need of an in-line flow control valve to regulate motor or cylinder speed on construction and agricultural machinery applications need look no further than Webtec’s new high-pressure VFD190 series, which brings Webtec’s range of hydraulic flow control valves to over 800 models and counting.

The new range has both a 66% higher operating pressure and maximum inlet flow capability than the existing Webtec 2FV series, but due to its larger one-inch port size and highly optimised mechanical design has a substantially reduced pressure drop, meaning heat generation can be cut in half resulting in significantly lower fuel consumption.

Aimed at applications such as controlling the speed of operation of hydraulic hammers, crushers, screeners, spreaders and conveyors this three-port variable priority flow divider is nearly immune to rapid changes in load, with adaptive pressure compensation enabling both the regulated and by-pass flows to be used to drive separate circuits.

The VFD190 has a single turn knob to smoothly control the flow even under full pressure and is rated up to 190 lpm (50 gpm) inlet flo, at pressures up to 420 bar (6000 psi) and comes in 5 sizes with both BSPP and SAE ports available.

Working Pressure (Max) Total flow capacity Material Weight Mounting
Up to 420 bar (6000 psi) 190 lpm (50 USgpm) Steel components in cast SG iron body painted black; aluminium knob 3.5 to 4.0Kg (7.7 to 8.8lbs) Two bolt – M8 or 5/16”


Would you like to see one “in the flesh”? We’re exhibiting at Lamma 2016, (Wednesday 20th January and Thursday 21st January) so why not pop along and say hello.

Coloured cable ties

Ingenious use for coloured cable ties!

A 10 bank spool valve was brought into our workshop for inspection. Prior to removing the valve coloured cable ties were fitted to all inlets and outlets of the valve and machinery. The colour cable ties will greatly assist with the refitting of the valve.

The Italian Job

Turolla Distributor (UK)It’s not JUST who you know, it’s how WELL you know them that really counts.

P & R Hydraulics were invited to attend the formal opening of the new Turolla manufacturing plant at Bologna, Italy, last month. We were guests of Trevor Pritchard, Sales Development Manager, because we have a very close working relationship with Turolla, have demonstrable expert knowledge of Turolla hydraulic products, plus additional specialist knowledge of hydraulic systems.

So, of course we were pleased to be invited, but was it just an excuse to go mad on delicious pizza and pasta? Absolutely not!

We were fascinated to watch an extremely detailed demonstration of their new ‘Sshark’ hydraulic pump range. Why the “Shhhh…”? Because the ‘Sshark’ is the first of a new generation of hydraulic pumps developed by Turolla with much reduced noise output, over 15dB in the case of their flagship product, the ‘Shhark Continuum’, making it perfect for any application where particular attention to the local environment is required.

More details can be found here Shhark brochure, and of course we will present more details as soon as they are available to non-OEM customers.

For more information on Turolla products please contact us - tel +44 (0) 1603 424880.
