Controlling variable flow rates is simple with Bosch Rexroth throttle-type valves, available for operation up to 350 bar and 400 litres per minute.
For bi-directional flow control, this Bosch Rexroth range caters for pressures up to 315 bar and for flow rates between 32 and 160 litres per minute.
Flow control valves applications:
The complete range of directional poppet type valves from Hytec is manufactured and sourced from Bosch Rexroth to guarantee quality and performance. The purpose of flow control in a hydraulic system is to regulate speed. Flow rate also determines rate of energy transfer at any given pressure in a hydraulic system.
The two are related in that the actuator force multiplied by the distance through which it moves is equal to the work done on the load. The energy transferred must also equal the work completed.
Therefore actuator speed determines the rate of energy transfer, and speed is therefore a function of flow rate. Conversely, directional control, does not deal primarily with energy control, but with directing the energy transfer system to the correct place in the system at the correct time.

Advantages and benefits of flow control valves include:
- One of the most important benefits offered by a flow control valve is that it controls the opening and closing process of a fluid automatically
- Flow control valves are easy to install
- Due to the automatic operations of flow control valves there is a great reduction in of wastage
- Flow control valves do not obstruct the flow of the fluid in a system
