Product Overview

Horstman design products for challenging applications and in doing so, we were unable to source a commercial high pressure, an electrically operated hydraulic valve that would operate reliably at pressures up to 1800 bar / 26000 psi.

Horstman manufactured their own high pressure hydraulic valve, complete with electronic controller and CANBUS interface.

Proven on military vehicle applications, this valve provides both selectable damping capability, and integrated health monitoring to ensure performance is achieved and maintained.

Tested in challenging and wide-ranging conditions, including -56 deg C to +58 deg C; shock and vibration and immersion in sea water.
