Description
What Are CETOP Valves?
CETOP stands for Comité Européen des Transmissions Oléohydrauliques et Pneumatiques—the European committee that defines standard interfaces for hydraulic valves. These internationally recognised mounting patterns allow easy integration and interchangeability between brands.
Hydraulic CETOP valves are designed to mount between a manifold (or subplate) and hydraulic actuators, forming a compact and modular stack. They’re commonly referred to as sandwich valves because of this build style.
Key Features:
- Standard CETOP interface (NG6, NG10, etc.)
- Wet type solenoid operated valves
- Flow capacity: up to 120 L/min (21 US GPM) – depending on spool style
- Pressure range: up to 350 bar (5000 psi)
- Available in 12VDC, 24VDC, 115VAC, 240VAC, or pneumatic actuation
- Modular design for easy expansion
Available CETOP Valves
CETOP 3 Hydraulic Valves (NG6)
Our CETOP 3 valves include 2/4 and 3/4 directional configurations with a wide range of spool types and actuation options. Ideal for compact hydraulic circuits where precise directional control is required.
- CETOP 3 solenoid valves in 12V, 24V DC or AC options
- Also available as CETOP 3 pressure reducing valves
- Compatible with subplates and stacking manifolds
- Common in mobile equipment and compact machinery
CETOP 5 Hydraulic Valves (NG10)
Our CETOP 5 valves offer increased flow capacity and more robust switching performance, perfect for larger or more demanding hydraulic applications.
- Available with multiple spool and port configurations
- Offered in both solenoid and pneumatic actuation options
- Suitable for integration in complex hydraulic control systems
CETOP 7, CETOP 8 and CETOP 10 Valves
We also supply larger interface sizes including CETOP 7 solenoid valves, CETOP 8 solenoid valves, and CETOP 10 for high-flow, high-pressure applications in industrial plants and heavy-duty mobile systems.
