What Is a Cartridge Valve?
Cartridge valves are compact, internally installed valves in fluid control devices, commonly used in hydraulic systems. Their main function is to control fluid flow and regulate pressure within these systems.
The primary feature of cartridge valves is their small size, which allows multiple valves to be placed in limited spaces, enabling complex fluid control. These valves are used in power steering systems in automobiles and in industrial machinery, where they provide space-efficient and efficient solutions. Available mainly in two types, slip-in and screw-in, cartridge valves vary based on the application’s requirements.
