The Badestnost Z50 is a heavy-duty, European-made monoblock directional control valve built for open and closed centre hydraulic systems.
This four-spool version gives you independent manual control over four separate hydraulic functions from a single compact valve block — well suited to excavators, multi-function loaders, industrial machinery, and any application where four circuits need to be controlled efficiently.
Rated for continuous operation at 40 L/min with a nominal maximum capacity of 50 L/min, and built to handle system pressures up to 315 bar (4,600 psi), this valve delivers solid, reliable performance in demanding professional environments.
Each of the four spools has its own independent spring-return lever. Push or pull each lever to direct oil to the corresponding cylinder or motor, and release to spring back to the neutral (centre) position, locking the load in place. All four levers can be operated simultaneously or independently.
A built-in adjustable pressure relief valve is factory set to 180 bar and protects your entire circuit from pressure spikes. A load check valve on the P port prevents back-flow and unintended load movement when all levers are in neutral.
Each of the four levers can be configured independently. Select a spool type for each lever from the dropdown menus above:
