Parker Hannifin is a Fortune 500 company with sales of $9 billion and over 400,000 customers in 43 countries. Parker is the world’s leading supplier of motion control components and system solutions serving the mobile, industrial and aerospace markets.

Parker is your single source for any hydraulic valve require- ment. We provide a wide selection of open-center and load-sense directional control valves for any construction, off-highway, or on- highway application. Many of our open-center valves can be adapted and used as closed-center, constant- pressure, and constant-pressure unloaded valves. Each of these technologies offers unique features for improved machine performance over traditional, open-center control valves.

When remote control is required, Parker provides a broad line of pilot controllers that are compact and pressure-matched with our control valves to provide consistent and optimized machine control. There are a variety of electric- switch handle options available for additional function control by the operator.

Parker’s premier IQAN electron- ics packages range from simple stand-alone controllers to large, multiple CAN bus systems with color displays. For example, IQAN interfaces with new electronic diesel engines over the SAE J1939

CAN bus.

Package components are designed and tested for mobile applications to help increase machine

uptime. The IQAN valve drivers offer superior control of propor- tional hydraulic functions resulting in increased machine productivity. Non-programmers find IQAN’s programming interface easy to use, reducing development time. Fur- thermore, excellent diagnostic tools and remote modem connection help cut field service time.
