Product Introduction
The DCV60 Series is a 60 L/min sectional directional control valve engineered for compact hydraulic systems. It uses a bolted sectional construction with a narrow overall envelope, making it suitable for equipment where mounting space is limited. Each section contains an individually machined spool and a load check valve, with common pressure and return galleries formed when the sections are assembled. Manual lever operation provides direct control of actuator direction and speed.
Working principle: Manual lever movement shifts the spool within its section, connecting the pressure gallery to the selected work port while opening the return path. An integral relief valve limits system pressure, and load check valves hold the actuator in position when the spool returns to neutral.
Features & Technical Advantages
Compact 60 L/min flow class: Matches the pump output of small loaders, forklifts, and compact tractors, avoiding the extra cost and size of a higher-flow valve.
Space-saving sectional design: Bolted stack construction with a narrow profile. Sections can be added or removed in the field without special tooling.
350 bar pressure rating: Suitable for standard mobile hydraulic systems, with a relief valve setting that can be adjusted to match specific circuit requirements.
Low leakage, stable holding: Internal leakage is controlled through precision spool-to-bore matching. Load check valves prevent drift when the lever is in neutral.
Corrosion-resistant surface: Phosphated valve body passes a 48-hour neutral salt spray test, suitable for outdoor and humid working conditions.
Simple manual control: Lever-to-spool direct linkage gives operators immediate feedback, ideal for equipment without electro-hydraulic controls.
A Closer Look
60 L/min - The Flow for Compact Equipment
60 L/min is enough for most small to medium equipment. Forklifts, small loaders, agricultural implements - the machines where 60 L/min is the sweet spot. Not too much, not too little.
The 350 bar pressure rating is the same as the rest of the DCV series. You're not giving up pressure by choosing the smaller flow.
Purely Mechanical - No Power Required
The DCV60 operates without external power. Move the lever, the spool shifts. No electricity, no pilot oil, no electronics. This matters on equipment where power isn't always available or reliable.
Sectional Construction - Add as You Go
Built from individual sections, each with its own spool, springs, and detent. Need three functions? Use three sections. Need six? Add three more. Need to change the machine next year? You can.
Equipment changes. New attachments, new functions, new requirements. With a sectional valve, you don't replace the whole thing. You just add sections.
Low Internal Leakage
15 cc/min at 160 bar, 50°C. The spool-to-bore clearance is held to the same standard as the larger DCV valves.
Surface Treatment
Phosphating. Passes 48-hour salt spray. Not paint - won't peel when bumped.
Applications
The DCV60 sectional directional valve is widely used in:
Compact loaders and mini excavators (under 6 tons): Boom, bucket, and auxiliary circuits where 60 L/min matches the pump output.
Forklifts and telehandlers: Lift, tilt, and attachment circuits requiring 3–6 sections.
Agricultural tractors and implements: Front loader control, rear hydraulic output, and implement positioning.
Small refuse vehicles and sweepers: Packer, tipper, and brush circuits with intermittent duty cycles.
Industrial equipment: Small presses, lifts, and custom hydraulic power units with limited flow demand.
Typical customer needs: A cost-effective, compact valve for equipment with 2–6 hydraulic functions and a pump flow of 50–65 L/min. For example, a compact tractor with a front loader and rear hydraulic outlet can use a 4-section DCV60.

Installation & Maintenance
Installation requirements: Clean mounting surface. Tighten section bolts evenly in a diagonal pattern. Connect P, T, and A/B ports according to the hydraulic schematic.
Commissioning procedure: Check oil cleanliness before start-up. Set the relief valve to the specified pressure. Operate each section through several cycles to remove air.
Operation notes: Inspect for external leakage at section joints periodically. If a lever becomes stiff, check for contamination or spool damage.
Daily maintenance: Replace O-rings and bonded washers every 2–3 years or as needed. If a spool is damaged, replace the affected section rather than the entire valve.
Technical support: Selection guidance, hydraulic schematic review, and installation instructions are available.

Shijiazhuang Laiye Import & Export Trading Co., Ltd., part of Hebei Onederful® Hydraulic Technology Co., Ltd., has been manufacturing hydraulic components since 1988 - over 35 years of experience. We are a factory, not a trading company, with around 200 employees and a full in-house production process covering casting, machining, assembly, testing, and phosphating. Every valve is individually tested, not spot-checked, with test data filed against its serial number for full traceability. We export to more than 20 countries, hold ISO 9001 certification, and offer OEM customization, technical support, and a 12-month warranty. Material certificates, test reports, and certificates of origin are available upon request.
Manufacturing Process
FAQ
Q: What is the DCV60 sectional directional valve used for?
A: The DCV60 is a manual sectional valve used to control hydraulic cylinders and motors in small to medium equipment - forklifts, small loaders, agricultural machinery, and machine tools. It directs oil flow to actuators, controlling their speed, direction, and position.
Q: What does "sectional" mean in practical terms?
A: It means the valve is built from individual sections bolted together. You can start with three sections today and add two more next year. Each section controls one function. If a section fails, you replace just that section - not the whole valve.
Q: Why choose DCV60 over DCV100?
A: Flow. DCV60 is 60 L/min. DCV100 is 100 L/min. If your equipment runs on 60 L/min, the DCV60 is the right size. Oversizing doesn't help - it adds cost and bulk.
Q: Can the DCV60 sectional directional valve be mounted in any orientation?
A: Yes, but horizontal with levers facing up is recommended for best lever feel and longest spring life. Other orientations may affect centering due to gravity.
Q: What should I do if oil is seeping from the valve body?
A: Check the through-bolts - if loose, torque them to spec. If bolts are secure, check the section seals for wear or damage. Seepage between sections usually means worn seals.
