GRESEN’ ae MODEL V42 SECTIONAL BODY DIRECTIONAL CONTROL VALVES FOR MOBILE AND INDUSTRIAL HYDRAULIC SYSTEMS Greson’s Mode! V42 Direetlonal Control Valve is designed for parallel hydraulic circuit applications, up to 3600 PSI (242 bar} continuous ‘operating pressure, Pressure is limited to 2000, PSI [198 bar] if NPT pipe ports are required. For pressures beyond 2000 PSI, SAE straight thread O-ring ports or BSP ports are required. Service oF conversion is simple since individual sections can beaded, removedor replacedinthe field. Individual service or field conversion sections, rather than complete valve assemblies, ‘car be stocked thus reducing inventories, ‘The Model V2 is a parallel clrcult valve. Two or ‘more spools may beactuated atthe same time and the ol wilfollow the path of least resistance, Ifa2- spool Valve is used to control two hydraulic cylinders, each witha different load, the eylinder with the lightest load will operate frst if both spools are fully actuated atthe same time. Ifthe ‘spool controling the eylinder with the light load is metered (spool not fully actuated), then both cylin- ders may be operated at the same time, 2 MODEL V42 SECTIONAL BODY DIRECTIONAL CONTROL VALVE When @ spool is fully actuated, the open centor core is blocked and oil is directed into the power ‘core, Oil is then avaliable to the work ports ofall, sections in the valve assembly ce 4 FEATURES Exact Work Port Control. is achieved with smooth, positive metering valve spools.
