Thank you so much. I looked all over the Internet for cheap hydraulics and I was supprised to see how expensive hydraulic valves are. Many places charged into the hundreds in Euro's just for a 2 way valve and the models I want to build need many more valves and components which weren't getting cheaper.

Could I use plastic for the valve rotor?

This thing:

I would ill advise it. I'm no hydraulic expert, but I do know I've experienced an RC machine that had plastic incorporated into the valve design. It wasn't long before it leaked & was useless. I wound up buying a valve spool from Magom in Spain to remedy the manufacturers crappy designed valve.

Thanks!

Ah, darn ��

What about the valve itself (thing the rotor sets in) could it be plastic?

I wish I were more help. I know limited amounts about hydraulics. Alls I know is I threw away the plastic crap that was causing the issue & upgraded it to a full metal valve spool.

Maybe some kind of ultra high molecular weight plastic? You'd probably spend more and longer trying to find a plastic that's stable enough at pressure. Looks like the RC systems keep it under 500psi, so it's not too crazy, but trying to figure out forces doesn't sound fun.

Can your tools run Brass?

Maybe go Aluminum for the valve body, but i might be concerned about galling if you run aluminum for both the block and spool though.
Might be able to add some teflon sheeting at the faying surfaces without very much redesign, then surface finish in the block wouldn't be quite as critical.

Might want to check around your local machine shops, if you've got a small one that does one-off stuff they could be a big help. But you also might find a production valve system price is close to theirs anyway...

*not a machinist at all. I just have decent grasp on theory, and operate some high pressure stuff*
