Directional control valves are the most widely used, and the least understood, valves in fluid power circuits. Many people are confused by the schematic symbol representations, and have difficulty understanding the terms ways, positions, and operators. Learning to read schematic drawings is similar to learning a foreign language but to the trained eye, a symbol speaks volumes even when no words are present.
Directional control valves can only perform three functions:

  • Stop or block fluid flow
  • Allow fluid flow, and
  • Change direction of fluid flow.

This seems to simplify a seemingly complex subject, but remember, many valves may combine these functions. This makes them a little more complicated, but still not rocket-science material.  Please contact our team of specialist to help answer any questions you may have.
