DESCRIPTION
Direct operated spool valve, hand operated with 4 connections in 5
chamber design. Spool detented or with spring. Without actuation,
the spool is held in the center position by the spring (4/3), or
switched back to the offset position (4/2). With the detent, the
APPLICATION
Spool valves are mainly used for controlling direction of movement
and stopping of hydraulic cylinders and motors. The direction of
movement is determined by the position of the spool and its symbol.
Manually or mechanically operated valves are particularly suitable

!
ns
spool is held in the last switching position selected. Precise spool for use in installations where no electric current is available or for
fit, low leakage, long service life time. Spool made from hardened applications in explosion hazard areas.
