DESCRIPTION
8 size, 3/4-16 thread, “Power” series, solenoid operated, 4 way 3 position, Motor Spool, proportional directional
valve.
OPERATION
EQ-S4M, when de-energized, blocks ow at (2) and allows ow between (1), (3) and (4). When coil (S1) is
energized, ow is allowed from (3) to (4), and from (2) to (1). When coil (S2) is energized, ow is allowed from (3)
to (2), and from (4) to (1). Flow is proportional to the current applied to the coil. A compensator must be used to
create a pressure compensated ow control function.
FEATURES
Hardened parts for long-life.
Industry common cavity.
Excellent linearity and low hysteresis characteristics.
Cartridges are voltage interchangeable.
Optional coil voltages and terminations available.
Unitized, molded coil design.
Continuous duty rated solenoid.
