DESCRIPTION
A proportional solenoid-operated, 2-way, poppet-type, normally open, screw-in
hydraulic cartridge valve for low-leakage blocking and load-holding applications
OPERATION
When de-energized, the SP12-21 allows flow from 2 to 1. When the valve is partially
energized, the valve begins to throttle the flow from 2 to 1. When fully energized, the
poppet closes on the seat, blocking flow from 2 to 1. Flow from 1 to 2 will occur when
hydraulic pressure exceeds the solenoid force.
Note: If low voltage is expected on the machine, 12 or 24 volt systems will
require the use of 10 volt or 20 volt coils respectively. See “SP Valves and Coil
Operating Parameters,” page 2.002.1.
FEATURES
Industry-common cavity. Efficient wet-armature construction.
Continuous-duty rated coils. Optional waterproof E-Coils rated up to IP69K.
