The Hydac WS08Z-01-C-N is a high-performance, direct-acting 2/2 way solenoid-operated poppet valve, designed as a screw-in cartridge. This valve is normally closed, meaning it blocks flow from port 1 to 2 in its de-energized state. When the solenoid is energized, the poppet lifts to allow flow from port 1 to 2. Its robust poppet design ensures very low leakage, making it ideal for load-holding, blocking, and release functions in demanding mobile and industrial hydraulic systems. The cartridge construction allows for compact integration into custom manifold blocks, saving space and reducing potential leak points.
