PV70-31 Proportional Flow Control Cartridge,

DESCRIPTION
A solenoid operated, electrically-variable, three-port, pressure-compensated, spool-
type, normally open when de-energized, proportional fl ow control valve. It can be used
as a priority-type fl ow regulator with pressure-compensated, regulated and bypass
fl ow. It can also be used as a restrictive-type two-way, pressure-compensated fl ow
regulator when the bypass line (port
➁) is blocked.
OPERATION
The PV70-31 will regulate fl ow out of port ➂ regardless of system working pressure.
With increasing current applied to the solenoid, the PV70-31 will decrease output fl ow.
Note: When used as a bypass fl ow control in applications where the priority fl ow port
will be blocked by external valving, bypass pressure drop will increase unless a small
amount of leakage is provided for the priority port. Consult factory.
Operation of Manual Override:
To Engage: Turn clockwise approximately 1 turn to reach start point. Continue
another approximately 5 turns to full shift.
To Disengage: Turn counterclockwise approximately 6 turns to positive stop.
FEATURES
• Excellent linearity and hysteresis.
• Hardened spool and cage for long life.
• Optional coil voltages and terminations.
• Effi cient wet armature construction.
