Hydraulic rotary valves

June 11, 2012

Rudder Isolation valves are manual rotary valves for aerospace hydraulic systems rated for operating pressure to 5076 psig, with 7.92 gpm flow at 7.25 psid maximum. They feature dual or multiple ports; titanium housing results in overall unit dry weight of 1.050 lb. When in use, they isolate the rudder actuator from the main hydraulic system during aircraft ground maintenance, thereby preventing movement of the aircraft rudder.
