Series CV 300
General Information
The CV 300 is a modular monoblock valve which is available in 1 to 4 and 6 sections, with the option of
additional spool functions by using a High pressure carry-over fitting (Power Beyond).The valve is designed
for a maximum working pressure of 320 bar (4600 psi) with a flow from 40 to 140 l/min (9-37 USGpm.).
The CV 300 valve offers its user optimised characteristics with regard to function, capacity and quality. It is
designed with the machine builders high demands of cost effectiveness, function and need of exceptionally
good load maneuverbility in mind. Suitable areas of use are forklift trucks, lorry mounted cranes, dumpers,
loaders, excavators and other equipment where precise load control is required.
Although the valves external dimensions are small, it does allow high internal flows and can be equipped
with a large number of accessories as standard. The uniquely designed canal system results in exceptionally
low pressure drops leading to improved performance and longer life not only of the control valve but also of
the other components in the hydraulic system.
The CV 300 is manufactured using the highest quality alloy cast iron which in combination with NIMCO’s
advanced machining and control methods assures the precise accuracy of every component. Each valve
is tested and the results documented prior to despatch.
Minimised spool leakage.

Hard chromium plated spools, low friction and a specially developed honing method gives absolute minimum
spool leakage of the valve.
Easy assembly.
The valve has two pressure inlets and two tank outlets allowing pipes and hoses to be connected either
from the side or top of the valve.
Excellent load control.

CV 300 can be fitted with the standard load control spools or with specially designed spools for specific
flows, each of which is designed to provide optimum control characteristics within its flow range. On request,
special spools can be designed for special functions.
Full utilisation of the spool stroke.

The optimised soft maneuver grooves integrated in each spool and the precise machining of every
component allows the entire stroke of the spool to be used. This allows full control of the load whether the
operator is using very little or full flow capacity. In addition the movement of any spool in any direction will
give the same speed of machine function, enhancing security and reliability.
Multifunctional control.
Several spools can be operated at the same time even when very large differences in load are at hand due
to the utilisation of the differential pressure built up inside the valve during operation.
Uniform and low lever forces.

By combining the unique design features of the valve body and the spools, an excellent balance of the
dynamic forces is achieved throughout the entire pressure and flow range. This keeps spring forces at a
minimum and makes the valve very easy to operate by hand lever as well as when any of the NIMCO’s
remote control valves are used.
Wide range of accessories.

The CV 300 offers a wide range of possibilities by using existing and future accessory valves. Also a
wide range of spool and remote controls such as single or joystick wire controls, pneumatic and hydraulic
proportional or on/off controls are available.

Series CV 400 - Unibody
General Information Hydraulic systems
The CV 400 Unibody is a modular monoblock valve which is available in 1 to 4 sections, with the option
of additional spool functions by using a carry-over fitting (Power Beyond).The valve is designed for a
maximum working pressure of 320 bar (4600 psi) with a flow from 15 to 80 l/min (4-21 USgpm).
The CV 400 Unibody valve offers its user optimized characteristics with regard to function, capacity and
quality. It is designed with the machine builders high demands of cost effectiveness, function and need of
exceptionally good load maneuverability in mind. Suitable areas of use are forklift trucks, cranes, loaders
and other equipment where precise load control is required.
Although the valve’s external dimensions are small, it will allow high internal flows and can be equipped with
a large number of accessories as standard. The uniquely designed canal system results in exceptionally
low pressure drops leading to improved performance and longer life not only of the control valve but also of
the other components in the hydraulic system.
The CV 400 Unibody is manufactured using the highest quality alloy cast iron which in combination with
NIMCO’s advanced machining and control methods assures the precise accuracy of every component.
Each valve is tested and the results documented prior to dispatch.
Unibody
The Unibody system is designed to give the valve user maximum flexibility and economy. The system
comprises of a standard valve onto which a number of secondary valves can be mounted. Any combination
of valves, already available in the program, and future developments in reponse to customer requests, can
be mounted onto the valve in any preferred combination. Having all secondary valves directly on the valve,
piping and hosing costs are kept to a minimum. Simultaneously, the user is allowed flexibility in designing
the hydraulic system for each machine. The valve can be delivered with the Unibody functions already fitted
to the valve or simply prepared for any of the large number of standard Unibody blocks that are available.
Minimized spool leakage.

Hard chromium plated spools, low friction and a specially developed honing method provide for absolute
minimum spool leakage of the valve.
Easy assembly.
The valve has two pressure inlets and three tank outlets allowing pipes and hoses to be connected either

General Information Hydraulic systems

CV 400 Unibody is delivered with a wide range of standard spools each of which is designed to provide
optimum control characteristics within its flow range. On request, special spools can be delivered for other
flow rates.
Full utilization of the spool stroke.

The optimized soft maneuver grooves integrated in each spool and the precise machining of every
component allow for the entire stroke of the spool to be used. This allows full control of the load whether
the operator is using very little or full flow capacity. In addition, the movement of any spool in any direction
will give the same speed of machine function, enhancing security and reliability.
Multifunctional control.
Several spools can be operated at the same time even when very large differences in load are at hand due
to the utilization of the differential pressure built up inside the valve during operation.

dynamic forces is achieved throughout the entire pressure and flow range. This keeps spring forces at a

The CV 400 Unibody offers a wide range of options by using existing and future accessory valves. Also a
wide range of spool and remote controls such as single or joystick wire controls, pneumatic and hydraulic
proportional or on/off controls are available.
