Overview
The Vickers 290343 solenoid pilot valve is a precision-engineered directional control valve designed for use in hydraulic and pneumatic systems. As a reputable Vickers (now part of Eaton) component, the 290343 provides reliable pilot operation for larger main-stage directional valves in industrial, mobile, and manufacturing applications. This used unit has been tested for proper operation and is ready for drop-in installation in compatible systems.
Key Features
- Solenoid-actuated pilot valve for two-stage directional control systems
- Precision spool design for responsive fluid directional control
- Durable construction suitable for industrial hydraulic environments
- Compact footprint compatible with standard manifold subplates
- Manual solenoid override capability for system diagnostics
Technical Specifications
Exact specifications for the Vickers 290343 should be verified against the original equipment manufacturer documentation or your system integrator. Contact Eaton (formerly Vickers) or consult your equipment manual for confirmed operating parameters including pressure ratings, flow capacity, solenoid voltage, and port configurations.
Typical Applications
- Two-stage directional valve pilot control in industrial hydraulic systems
