– Distributes the flow between the directional valve elements
according to the requirements, independently of the pressure
and available flow.
– Compact sandwich plate design, can be combined so that
the control block can meet the requirements of differing ma-
chines.
– No shuttle valves.
– Limitation of system maximum pressure via LS pressure
relief valve.
– System protection via LS and secondary pressure relief
valves.
