Foot-Operated Valve Fit for DX260 Excavator
1. Product Overview
• Name: Foot-Operated Hydraulic Control Valve
• Compatibility: Specifically designed forDoosan DX260 excavators(or similar mid-to-large hydraulic machinery).
• Function: Enables hands-free hydraulic control (e.g., activating attachments like breakers, tiltrotators, or grapples) via a foot pedal, improving operator efficiency and safety.
2. Key Technical Specifications
【表格】
Parameter Details
Operating Pressure Up to 35 MPa (5,075 PSI) – Matches DX260’s standard hydraulic system.
Flow Rate Adjustable (typically 60–180 L/min) to suit various attachments.
Valve Type Pilot-operated or direct-acting (depending on model).
Port Sizes Standard SAE/DIN ports (e.g., #12 SAE for high-flow applications).
Material Hardened steel valve body, corrosion-resistant coating.
Mounting Floor-mounted or side-mounted bracket (customizable for cab layout).
3. Advantages for DX260 Operators
• Ergonomic Efficiency:
• Frees hands for primary controls (e.g., boom/bucket operation) while using feet for secondary functions.
• Reduces operator fatigue during repetitive tasks (e.g., breaking rocks).
• Safety:
• Minimizes distractions by avoiding hand-switching between levers and pedals.
• Critical for tasks requiring simultaneous movement (e.g., stabilizing while breaking).
• Flexibility:
• Compatible with DX260’s auxiliary hydraulic circuits (e.g., 1st/2nd auxiliary lines).
• Supports quick-change couplings for rapid attachment swaps.
4. Installation Considerations
• OEM vs. Aftermarket:
• OEM (Doosan Original): Guaranteed compatibility but higher cost.
• Aftermarket: Cost-effective alternatives (e.g., Eaton, HydraForce, or Sun Hydraulics), but verify specs match DX260’s system.
• Professional Installation:
• Requires hydraulic system knowledge to avoid pressure mismatches or leaks.
• May involve rerouting hoses or adding pressure relief valves.
5. Maintenance Tips
• Daily Checks:
• Inspect for hydraulic fluid leaks around the valve body or pedal linkage.
• Ensure pedal movement is smooth (no sticking or excessive play).
• Monthly Maintenance:
• Clean debris from the valve area to prevent contaminants from entering the hydraulic system.
• Check hose fittings for tightness.
• Annual Overhaul:
• Replace seals/O-rings if wear is visible.
• Test valve response time and adjust if sluggish.
6. Common Issues & Fixes

Issue Probable Cause Solution
Valve not responding Air in hydraulic lines or low pressure. Bleed air, check pump output.
Leaking fluid Worn seals or damaged fittings. Replace seals; tighten/replace fittings.
Stiff pedal
Contaminated hydraulic oil or corroded parts.
Flush system; lubricate moving parts.
