What is a Sequence valve?

A sequence valve is used in hydraulic circuits to control the operation of multiple actuators in a specific sequence. It works by allowing flow to the next circuit when a certain pressure is reached. The sequence valve ensures that actions are performed in a predetermined order, which is crucial when multiple actuators are involved. It guarantees that the system operates in a controlled and efficient manner, improving the overall performance of hydraulic systems. Common applications include controlling machines with multiple cylinders or motors, ensuring the proper sequence of operations.

Application of Sequence valve

✅ Industrial Robots
In robotic arms with multiple cylinders, a sequence valve controls the order of operation. For example, when the first cylinder completes its motion, the second cylinder is allowed to start.
✅ Hydraulic Press Machines
In metal forming processes, sequence valves ensure that pressing actions occur in a specific order, with each stage completed before moving on to the next.
✅ Automotive Manufacturing Lines
In manufacturing lines with multiple hydraulic actuators, sequence valves are used to synchronize the actions of different stages. The valve ensures each step of the operation is performed in sequence for efficient workflow.
