Shop 3-Position, 4-Way, Tandem Spool, Lever Operated Directional Control Valves
The 3-position, 4-way, directional, manual lever operated hydraulic directional control valve with a tandem spool is a key player in hydraulic systems, functioning a bit like a switchboard operator. In its neutral position, it blocks pressure (P) while simultaneously blocking ports A and B, ensuring no flow occurs. Shifting the lever in one direction directs pressure to port A, activating a specific function, while port B connects to the tank to complete the circuit. Shifting the lever in the opposite direction routes pressure to port B, activating another function, while port A connects to the tank. Its spring return feature ensures it returns to the neutral position when not in use, maintaining control and safety in hydraulic systems requiring complex directional control.
