AAK Hydraulic Directional Control Valve Strengthened Spool Long Life

Blade is from Canada. He has been purchasing hydraulic components successfully for 3 years. Unexpectedly, a hydraulic cartridge directional control valve stumped him. In the second half of last year, a batch of their hydraulic logistics lifts were complained by customers, some of them were unable to work, probably because the hydraulic cartridge directional control valve leaked. After checking, it was found that the valve spool was deformed. The original manufacturer of the hydraulic cartridge directional control valves said that it had been shipped for 9 months, and some exceptions were inevitable. It is possible that the internal stress of the valve spool was not eliminated in time during the heat treatment process, resulting in deformation or cracking of the valve spool. However, there are more and more complaints later.
