Danfoss Power Solutions expands PVG portfolio with new proportional valve

PVG 48 maximises the power density of the PVG 32 interface. Its compact design also saves space and reduces weight while maximising performance. The new PVG 48 modules also offer a range of inlets, including PVPM 48 mid inlet and PVSI 48 with P&T end plates, which can accommodate for the higher pump flow required. The complete PLUS+1 ® compliant actuator portfolio, as well as most PVG 32 accessories, can be applied to PVG 48, enabling a seamless integration with the pre-compensated valve family. PVG 48 is designed for use on all typical PVG applications, and has already been successfully applied in agriculture, material handling and construction machinery, with customers in production. The valve is ideal for machines such as wheel loaders, aerial lifts and cranes, where flow and controllability are essential. Knud Meldgaard Jensen, global product portfolio manager for spool valve solutions, Danfoss Power Solutions, said: “We designed the all performance criteria. Of the thousands of Intel suppliers around the world, only a few hundred qualify to participate in the EPIC Supplier Program. The EPIC Distinguished Award is the second-highest honour a supplier can achieve. In 2023, only 22 suppliers in the Intel supply chain network earned this award. To qualify for an Intel EPIC Distinguished Supplier Award, suppliers must exceed expectations, meet aggressive performance goals, and score 80 per cent or higher in performance assessments throughout the year. Suppliers must also meet 80 per cent or more of their improvement plan deliverables and demonstrate formidable quality and business systems. GF Piping Systems www.gfps.com

Danfoss has extended its PVG valve portfolio with the addition of PVG 48, a pre compensated proportional control valve for mobile machinery. Designed for applications requiring flow rates of up to 180 litres per minute (47.6 gallons per minute), PVG 48 provides customers with a right-sized option between the existing PVG 32 and PVG 128 valves. It greatly expands the range of medium-flow capabilities for original equipment manufacturers and distributors globally. The PVG 48 valve is designed to easily integrate with the existing line of Danfoss Power Solutions’ high performance proportional valves, including PVG 256, PVG 128, PVG 32, and PVG 16. The modularity of the PVG portfolio enables five valve sizes to be stacked together. This allows hydraulic flow from high to low within the same valve stack, enabling precise and repeatable control and optimising productivity for customers. Power Solutions GF Piping Systems has earned Intel’s EPIC distinguished supplier award. Through its dedication to excellence, partnership, inclusion and continuous (EPIC) quality improvement, GF Piping Systems has achieved a level of performance that exceeds Intel’s expectations. “As one of only 22 Distinguished Supplier Award recipients across the Intel global supply chain, GF Piping Systems stands out among suppliers in the semiconductor industry,” said Keyvan Esfarjani, chief global operations officer at Intel. “Its customer orientation and commitment to excellence is a testament to its dedication and serves as a global benchmark for others to follow.” The Intel EPIC distinguished supplier award recognises a consistent level of strong performance across

The PVG 48 valve

PVG 48 valve to have the same high performance and quality as the rest of our PVG proportional valves. By maintaining the design concept, an engineer can add this section to an existing application. The ability to do this without requiring a complete redesign ensures OEMs can easily optimise their machine using the entire PVG valve range. This helps by saving space and reducing weight and costs, which we know are critical factors for our customers.” Danfoss Power Solutions www.danfoss.com
