Build a Compact, Cost-Effective, Reliable Hydraulic
System with Vickers SystemStaktValves
Reduces System Space
Requirements
SystemStak valves make compact
hydraulic systems in which specific
function valves are “sandwich” mounted
between a directional valve and a
standard mounting surface.
Reduce Cost
SystemStak valves eliminate intervalve
piping and leak-prone tube and pipe
connections. Installed cost is less than
when using conventional valves.
Versatile and Easy to Install
SystemStak valves have all the internal
passages necessary to serve the
directional valve topping them. Mounting
surfaces and port patterns are to
international standards: any valve
conforming to ISO 4401 size 03;
ANSI/B93.7M size D03; NFPA-D03;
CETOP 3; and DIN 24340, NG6
mounting interface can be used with
these SystemStak valves.
Rugged and Reliable
Internal working parts are produced from
hardened steel and mounted in ductile
(spheroidal graphite) iron bodies.
Excellent reliability is ensured. Working
parts are accessible without removing
valves from an assembled stack.
SystemStak Systems... Easy to
Understand, Easy to Design
SystemStak circuitry is best shown
using slightly different symbols than
those for traditional valve configurations.
Each SystemStak symbol has the same
basic form and size as shown in fig. 1.
Figure 1
PTAB
Figure 2
PTAB
For ease of understanding, remember
the directions of flow for each line, and
that all four flow paths pass through
each valve (see fig. 2). For clarity,
directional valves are drawn vertically in
SystemStak circuit diagrams (see fig. 3).
Figure 3
PTAB
Each station (valve stack) is a
combination of functions. When
designing and assembling SystemStak
valves, care must be taken to ensure
that they interact as required by stacking
the functions in the correct sequence
(fig. 4 is an example).
Figure 4
PTAB
Relief valves should normally be
positioned next to the mounting surface
(i.e. at the bottom of the stack). When
both a flow control and a pilot operated
check valve are required, it is
recommended that the flow control valve
be between the check valve and the
actuator to prevent check valve chatter.
Figure 5

A combination of directional valve,
SystemStak valve(s) and
subplate/manifold block (fig. 5: single
station subplate and fig. 6: multi-station
manifold) completes the assembly.

Fig. 7 represents a complete
SystemStak system, showing typical
use of functions available from this
range. The circuit diagram also shows
the use of a tapping plate for accessing
line pressure readings, and a blanking
plate to close off an unused station of a
multi-station manifold.

DGMC2-3-4*
General Description
These two-stage adjustable pressure
relief valves limit the maximum pressure
in the line(s) controlled by the integral
relief valve elements.
Pressure adjustment options of control
knob (with or without keylock) or
screw/locknut design are available. The
two-stage operation is basically identical
to long-established balanced piston
valves, described in detail in Vickers
Industrial hydraulics manual.

Pressure Controls: Counterbalance, Sequence and Pressure Reducing Valves
DGMR(1)-3-4*
DGMX*-3-4*
General Description
These single-stage valves operate by
the application of pressure on the end of
the valve spool, acting against a spring
which is loaded by means of the
adjustment mechanism.
In the counterbalance and sequence
valves the spool is offset by the spring
such that flow cannot pass through the
valve. When the force exerted by the
pilot pressure on the spool end exceeds
the force of the main spring, the spool is
moved to allow flow through the valve.
In the pressure reducing valve the flow
path is normally open and is closed as
the pilot pressure exceeds the setting of
the valve. Excessive pressure in the
reduced-pressure line is prevented by a
pressure relieving function.
Pressure adjustment options of control
knob (with or without keylock) or
screw/locknut design are available.

General Description
These valves provide pilot operated
check functions in one or both service
lines (A or B), the operating pilot supply
coming from the opposite service line.
Thus with pressure in one service line
the check valve in the other service line
will be open (subject to system/actuator
pressures being correct for the valve
area ratios).
A 3:1 area ratio of pilot piston to check
valve seat is supplemented by an
optional 10:1 decompression feature.

General Description
These valves regulate flow by means
of an adjustable orifice which is not
pressure compensated, and flow
through the valve is entirely dependent
upon pressure drop at any particular
setting of the orifice.
Dual service-line models with an integral
non-return valve around each control
orifice provide for meter-in or meter-out
control; single line versions of these are
available.
For flow restriction in P or T lines (where
reverse free flow is not required) models
without check valves are available.
Adjustment options are either
screw/locknut or handknob.
