HYDRAULIC SHUTTLE VALVE 3/8"
VT005006 3/8” BSP – Shuttle valve
Product description:
The VT005006 shuttle valve is designed to automatically select and transmit the higher pressure from two pressure lines to the outlet in hydraulic systems. It is suitable for pressure control and pilot circuits where reliable pressure selection is required. The valve features a steel housing and internal components with a zinc-plated exterior surface for corrosion resistance and long service life.
Main features:
- Type: Shuttle valve
- Part number: VT005006
- Connection (R1 – A, A1, B): 3/8” BSP
- Max. flow rate: 50 l/min
- Maximum operating pressure: 350 bar
- Housing material: Steel (zinc-plated)
Operating principle
The valve has two inlets (A and B) and one outlet (C). Inside, a free-moving steel ball shuttles to block the lower-pressure side while connecting the higher-pressure side to the outlet. When pressure conditions reverse, the ball shifts to the opposite seat, automatically routing the new higher pressure to the circuit.
This self-acting changeover is perfect for logic functions, brake signal lines, or emergency supply selection in demanding hydraulic systems.
