The Compact Pilot Actuator (CPA) features impressively small dimensions: it is the only proportional control valve for the off-highway sector to be a mere 26 mm wide. This means it has the potential to become a game-changer for manufacturers of small construction and agricultural machinery, as main control valves for mini excavators, compact loaders, telescopic handlers and similar systems can be made smaller than ever before. Since the CPA valve is mounted with only one screw instead of two, the CPA also speeds up production. Due to the perfectly engineered flange, it can be adjusted in various orientations and delivers a maximum of flexibility with a minimum of space requirements.
