Digital valves revolutionize hydraulic systems through precision, efficiency and minimal energy costs.

More performance, less energy consumption and lower system costs

Thanks to their compact design, they are cost-effective, low-maintenance and offer maximum precision, energy efficiency and reliability.

Switching times in the millisecond range improve positioning accuracy, increase reliability and significantly reduce energy consumption.

Hydraulic systems have a high power density, but often suffer from low energy efficiency. This is where digital hydraulic switching concepts come in – with the fast switching valve as the central component. The FSVi(Fast Switching Valve with integrated Electronics) developed by LCM is the first digital valve on the market with a switching time of approx. 1 ms – at least five times faster than standard market solutions.

Optimized magnets and an energy-efficient control, embedded in the integrated electronics, enable a permanent switching frequency of 100 Hz. The simple design also reduces the production and maintenance costs of hydraulic actuators.

Requirements

Dosing of different media (gases, hydraulic fluids, lubricants through to pasty liquids)
Pressures from 5 bar to 200 bar (applications from 10 bar to 350 bar)
Quantities from drops/minute to several liters/minute with one valve
Durability of the valves > 1 billion load cycles

Your benefit

Significantly higher energy efficiency thanks to fast, digital switching technology
Simple, robust design reduces maintenance and costs
Very fast switching time (~1 ms) for precise and dynamic control
Up to 80 % less energy consumption, less heat loss
Smaller tanks and cooling systems due to lower oil temperatures
