Core offering

Danfoss Power Solutions designs, manufactures, and sells hydraulic components and integrated systems for mobile and industrial machinery, including proportional directional valves (PVG, CVG), hydraulic integrated circuits (HIC), cartridge valves, electrohydraulic actuators, hydraulic pumps and motors, steering systems, hoses and fittings, and the PLUS+1® machine control software platform. The portfolio is sold to OEM manufacturers in construction, agriculture, material handling, and other off-highway equipment industries across 100+ countries.

Product overview

Danfoss Power Solutions is a comprehensive hydraulic systems provider offering a modular, platform-based product architecture centered on its PVG proportional valve family and the newer CVG 8 compact valve. The core portfolio includes hydraulic integrated circuits (HICs) using over 500 cartridge valve models, electrohydraulic actuators (PVE series), steering systems, pumps, motors, and fluid conveyance solutions. The PLUS+1® software platform serves as the unified control system, enabling integration across all components including the recently launched CAN 2 Current microcontroller for CAN bus connectivity. Products are designed for stacking and combination (e.g., CVG 8 with PVG sections and HICs), providing flexibility for mobile hydraulics applications in agriculture, construction, material handling, and forestry.
