ZL70-30 Proportional, Bi-Directional Flow Control,
SYMBOLS
2.602.1
DESCRIPTION
A solenoid-operated, electrically-variable, pressure-compensated, spool-type,
normally closed when de-energized, proportional, bi-directional, fl ow control valve.
An internal compensator spool provides compensated fl ow across the
proportional orifi ce regardless of fl ow direction.
OPERATION
The ZL70-30 provides regulated fl ow from port ➁ to port ➂, or regulated fl ow from
port
➂ to port ➁. Port ➀ should be blocked. Regulated fl ow is proportional to electric
current applied to the solenoid.
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 until positive stop
is found.
FEATURES
• Excellent linearity and hysteresis characteristics.
• Hardened spool and cage for long life.
• Optional coil voltages and terminations.
• Effi cient wet armature construction.
• Manual Override option.
