THM – DCT/DCG – Cam operated Directional Control valves
Achieve absolute mechanical reliability in your hydraulic circuits with the THM DCT / DCG Series Cam Operated Directional Control Valve. Designed for applications that require position-dependent switching without the need for complex electronics, this valve shifts the direction of oil flow when its internal spool is physically depressed by an external mechanical cam. Available in standard 01 and 03 sizes, the DCT/DCG series efficiently handles flow rates of 30 and 100 L/min, respectively, while safely sustaining maximum pressures up to 250 bar. By relying on robust physical actuation rather than electrical solenoids, this valve provides an incredibly durable, fail-proof directional control solution for the harshest industrial and mobile environments.
Core Technical Specifications:-

- Model Series: DCT / DCG
- Standard Sizes: 01, 03
- Maximum Flow Rate: 30 L/min (Size 01) | 100 L/min (Size 03)
- Maximum Operating Pressure: 210 bar (Size 01) | 250 bar (Size 03)
- Actuation Method: Mechanical (Cam-Depressed Spool)
Key Features & Engineering Advantages:-
- Fail-Proof Mechanical Actuation: By shifting fluid direction through the direct physical depression of the spool by a cam, this valve eliminates the risk of electrical sensor failures, burned-out solenoids, or wiring faults in harsh environments.
- Precise End-of-Stroke Control: The perfect solution for mechanical limit switching. As a moving machine part reaches its limit, it physically triggers the cam, instantly routing hydraulic fluid to stop, reverse, or sequence the next mechanical action.
- Rugged Environmental Resilience: Because it requires zero electricity to operate, it is entirely immune to water, heavy dust, extreme vibrations, and electromagnetic interference—making it virtually indestructible in the field.
- Compact & Highly Responsive: Engineered for rapid mechanical response. The moment the cam engages the spool, the fluid direction shifts, providing instantaneous and highly repeatable cycle timing.
- High-Pressure Endurance: The heavy-duty valve body is precision-machined to safely contain continuous high-pressure flows (up to 250 bar) and absorb the repeated physical impact of mechanical cam actuation over a remarkably long service life.
Ideal Industry Applications
The rugged mechanical reliability, electrical independence, and physical actuation of the DCT/DCG Series make it an essential control component for:
