THM – FDPV & VDPV – Proportional Multi-way Directional Spool Valve
Achieve absolute, multi-actuator mastery and maximize your machine's fuel efficiency with the THM FDPV and VDPV Series 3 Proportional Multi-Way Directional Spool Valves. Engineered strictly on the load-sensing principle, these advanced valve banks are the premier control solution for modern mobile engineering and construction machinery. By utilizing advanced fixed differential reducing valves and shuttle networks, the FDPV/VDPV series guarantees that fluid flow remains strictly proportional to your control signal, entirely independent of violent load fluctuations. This allows operators to run multiple hydraulic cylinders and motors simultaneously, at different speeds and pressures, with zero interference. Fully modular and offering massive energy conservation for both constant and variable displacement pump systems, this valve series delivers the stepless, precision speed regulation required to automate the world's heaviest equipment.

Key Features & Engineering Advantages
- True Load-Independent Control: The integrated load-sensitive mechanism automatically adjusts to continuous load changes. By keeping the pressure differential across the proportional throttle completely constant, actuator speed is dictated only by the operator's control signal, preventing unexpected surging or stalling when digging or lifting.
- Simultaneous Multi-Function Operation: The advanced shuttle valve network isolates each working port. This enables a machine (like an excavator) to swing, lift, and curl simultaneously without the heaviest load starving the lighter loads of hydraulic flow.
- Massive Energy Conservation: VDPV Series: Sends the maximum load pressure signal (LS) directly to the X-port of a variable displacement pump, commanding the pump to generate exactly the flow and pressure required, slashing wasted energy.
- FDPV Series: Utilizes a fixed differential overflow valve to regulate system pressure to exactly match the current load plus spring force, ensuring fixed-pump s
- End Plate: Terminates the block, configurable for internal or external pilot T-port discharge, and available with additional pump circulation cut-offs or LS inlets.
