Check Valves & Shuttle Valves

Reliable flow control in one direction: The check valves category includes robust components for line mounting that block or direct oil flow. Our range focuses on high-quality solutions from Oleodinamica Marchesini, including check valves made of steel and stainless steel, as well as shuttle valves for high pressures.

Available Valve Types

Check valves are essential components for preventing backflow or automatically switching between two pressure sources. Unlike simple ball valves, these valves operate automatically via oil pressure.

1. Check Valves (Series VU)

A check valve allows hydraulic oil to pass freely in one direction and immediately blocks flow in the opposite direction without leakage.

  • Material Variety: The VU series is available in zinc-plated steel (standard for mobile hydraulics) and optionally in stainless steel (AISI 316). The stainless steel version is ideal for corrosive environments, offshore applications, or the food industry.
  • Cracking Pressure: These valves are typically set to a defined cracking pressure, often in the range of 0.5 to 1 bar.

2. Shuttle Valves (Series VU2P)

The shuttle valve (also known as "OR valve") has two inlets and one outlet. It automatically connects the inlet with the higher pressure to the outlet, while blocking the other inlet.

  • Application: Typical for load-sensing lines or for controlling a brake from two different operating stations.
  • High Pressure: The VU2P series by Marchesini is specifically designed for high-pressure applications, withstanding loads where simple valves would fail.

Technical Features

  • Design: Compact design for direct installation in pipelines (line mounting).
  • Sealing: Metal-to-metal sealing or soft sealing, depending on leakage requirements.
