LOGIC CONTROL ELEMENT
SPOOL TYPE, PILOT TO CLOSE, SPOOL "A"

DESCRIPTION
This unit is a DIRECT ACTING, SCREW IN CARTRIDGE STYLE,
SPOOL TYPE, HYDRAULIC DIRECTIONAL LOGIC ELEMENT, with
multi-functional potential when used with other directional
pressure or flow control devices.

OPERATIONS
This valve blocks flow from port 1 to port 2 with a spring bias.
It will shift to allow full flow from port 1 to port 2 only when the
pressure in port 1 exceeds the cumulative pressure of port 3 plus
the bias spring force value.
When no pressure is present at port 3, it will allow flow from port 1
to port 2 once the bias spring force is overcome by the pressure
in port 1. This is pilot to close directional logic element.

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

Leakproof screw adjustment.
This valve has a fixed or an adjustable bias spring.
Adjustment screw can not be backed out of the valve.
Overset protection - spring can not go solid.
Hardened precision fitted spool & cage provides reliable, long life.
A unibody cage construction provides very low hysteresis
and reliable operation.
All external carbon steel parts are plated for longer life against the elements.
Valve is available with fixed, screw, tamperproof, capped and handknob
adjustments.
All cartridge valves are 100% functionally tested.
Industry common cavity.

DESCRIPTION
This unit is a DIRECT ACTING, SCREW IN CARTRIDGE STYLE,
SPOOL TYPE, HYDRAULIC DIRECTIONAL LOGIC ELEMENT, with
multi-functional potential when used with other directional,
pressure or flow control devices.

OPERATIONS
This valve blocks flow from port 1 to port 2 with a spring bias.
It will shift to allow full flow from port 1 to port 2 only when there
is no pressure in port 3. Valve will close when port 3 is blocked and
will maintain the same pressure plus the bias spring force value.
When no pressure is present at port 3, it will allow flow from port 1
to port 2 once the bias spring force is overcome by the pressure
in port 1. This is vent to open directional logic element.

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

Leakproof screw adjustment.
This valve has a fixed or an adjustable bias spring.
Adjustment screw can not be backed out of the valve.
Overset protection - spring can not go solid.
Hardened precision fitted spool & cage provides reliable, long life.
A unibody cage construction provides very low hysteresis
and reliable operation.
All external carbon steel parts are plated for longer life against the elements.
Valve is available with fixed, screw, tamperproof and capped
adjustments.
All cartridge valves are 100% functionally tested.

LOGIC CONTROL ELEMENT
SPOOL TYPE, PILOT TO OPEN, SPOOL "F".

DESCRIPTION
This unit is a DIRECT ACTING, SCREW IN CARTRIDGE STYLE,
SPOOL TYPE, HYDRAULIC DIRECTIONAL LOGIC ELEMENT, with
multi-functional potential when used with other directional,
pressure or flow control devices.

OPERATIONS
This valve is normally open from port 2 to port 1 with a spring bias.
It will shift to allow full flow from port 2 to port 1 only when there
is pressure in port 3. Valve will close when port 3 is opened and
will maintain the same pressure plus the bias spring force value.
When pressure is present at port 3, it will allow flow from port 2
to port 1, it will close once the pressure and the bias spring force
is overcome by pressure in port 1. This is pilot to open directional
control logic element.

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

Leakproof screw adjustment.
This valve has a fixed or an adjustable bias spring.
Adjustment screw can not be backed out of the valve.
Overset protection - spring can not go solid.
Hardened precision fitted spool & cage provides reliable, long life.
A unibody cage construction provides very low hysteresis
and reliable operation.
All external carbon steel parts are plated for longer life against the elements.
Valve is available with fixed, screw, tamperproof, capped and handknob
adjustments.
All cartridge valves are 100% functionally tested.
Industry common cavity.

PRESSURE COMPENSATOR
SPOOL TYPE, INLINE-TYPE COMPENSATING

DESCRIPTION
This unit is a DIRECT ACTING, SCREW IN CARTRIDGE STYLE,
SPOOL TYPE, PRESSURE-COMPENSATING INLINE FLOW ELEMENT,
intended for use with a remote fixed or variable orifice to yield
a two-port (inline-type), pressure-compensated, flow regulating
hydraulic valve.

OPERATIONS
This valve maintains a constant flow rate at port 2 regardless of load
pressure changes in a circuit downstream of port 2.
This cartridge compensator flow element maintains a constant differ-
ential pressure circuit point "P" to port 2 thereby regulating the
hydraulic flow rate between the two points in the circuit. This is an
inline type regulator, delivering only the exact amount of pump flow
to port 2. All ports can be fully pressurized.

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

Leakproof screw adjustment.
This valve has a fixed or an adjustable bias spring.
Adjustment screw can not be backed out of the valve.
Overset protection - spring can not go solid.
Hardened precision fitted spool & cage provides reliable, long life.
A unibody cage construction provides very low hysteresis

All external carbon steel parts are plated for longer life against the elements.
Valve is available with fixed, screw, tamperproof, capped and handknob

This cartridge compensator flow element maintains a constant differ-
ential pressure circuit point "P" to port 2 thereby regulating the
hydraulic flow rate between the two points in the circuit. This is an
inline type regulator, delivering only the exact amount of pump flow
to port 2. All ports can be fully pressurized.

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

Leakproof screw adjustment.
This valve has a fixed or an adjustable bias spring.
Adjustment screw can not be backed out of the valve.
Overset protection - spring can not go solid.
Hardened precision fitted spool & cage provides reliable, long life.
A unibody cage construction provides very low hysteresis
and reliable operation.
All external carbon steel parts are plated for longer life against the elements.
Valve is available with fixed, screw, tamperproof, capped and handknob
adjustments.
All cartridge valves are 100% functionally tested.

PRIORITY ON DEMAND SPOOL ELEMENT.
SPOOL TYPE, FOR LOAD SENSE STEERING.

DESCRIPTION
This unit is a DIRECT ACTING, SCREW IN CARTRIDGE STYLE,
SPOOL TYPE, PRIORITY ON DEMAND PRESSURE COMPENSATED FLOW CONTROL
ELEMENT. This unit is used to provide a load sense steering first
with the priority flow when the steering demands the flow and the
amount it requires before any other function in the system.
When the steering or any other priority functions are satisfied,
only then the excess flow is diverted to the auxilliary port for
other functions.

OPERATIONS
When the steering wheel is turned, the flow from port 3 is
distributed to the priority port 4 when the system calls for it.
The remaining flow is available to the rest of the working
hydraulic system thru the excess port 2.
The distribution is controlled by the load sense signal to port 1
from the steering unit, so the flow to the steering unit is always
determined by the actual steering rate.

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

Hardened precision fitted spool & cage provides reliable, long life.
A unibody cage construction provides a very low hysteresis and very
reliable operation.
All external carbon steel parts are plated for longer life against the elements.
All cartridge valves are 100% functionally tested.

PRIORITY ON DEMAND SPOOL ELEMENT.
SPOOL TYPE, FOR LOAD SENSE STEERING.
DESCRIPTION
This unit is a DIRECT ACTING, SCREW IN CARTRIDGE STYLE,
SPOOL TYPE, PRIORITY ON DEMAND PRESSURE COMPENSATED FLOW CONTROL
ELEMENT. This unit is used to provide a load sense steering first
with the priority flow when the steering demands the flow and the
amount it requires before any other function in the system.
When the steering or any other priority functions are satisfied,
only then the excess flow is diverted to the auxilliary port for other functions.
OPERATIONS
When the steering wheel is turned, the flow from port 3 is
distributed to the priority port 4 when the system calls for it.
The remaining flow is available to the rest of the working
hydraulic system thru the excess port 2.
The distribution is controlled by the load sense signal to port 1
from the steering unit, so the flow to the steering unit is always
determined by the actual steering rate.
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
Hardened precision fitted spool & cage provides reliable, long life.
A unibody cage construction provides a very low hysteresis and very
reliable operation.
All external carbon steel parts are plated for longer life against the elements.
All cartridge valves are 100% functionally tested.
Industry common cavity.
SPECIFICATIONS
OPERATING PRESSURE: 5,000 PSI [350 Bar]
