THE SHUTTLE VALVE
Modular valves type AM.3.SH are
actuator load pressure selecting units,
as they are fitted with an integral shut-
tle valve cartridge which allows taking
of the highest pressure signal to the
external port via displacement of a
ball. They are usually employed to
signal the actuator load to the pres-
sure compensator of load sensing
pump, or for the command of fail-safe
brakes.
For seat overall dimensions see car-
tridge shuttle SH.03 type.
