The selection of a modular valves, to suit a particular function or hydraulic circuit are made in exactly the
same way as conventional valves, taking into account the flow and pressure of each valve to be used. In
some cases, the stacking system may be restricted, so please refer to the following instructions for stacking
sequence. Please note that, when designing a system using modular stacking valves, due consideration
should be given to working space for future maintenance.
Because reducing valves are spool type, there is an
internal leakage. In the stacking sequence shown in the
drawing left (incorrect), the cylinder moves due to
leakage through the pilot pressure line .
Consequently, retaining the position of the cylinder
using a pilot operated check valve becomes impossible.
The stacking sequence shown in the drawing right
(correct) is required in order to retain the cylinder
position.
In B to T flow in the drawing left (incorrect), pressure is
generated at part with a throttle effect of the throttle
and check modular valve. Depending upon the pressure
so generated, the reducing modular valve may perform a
pressure reducing function which causes a shortage of
output power from the cylinder and spoils the smooth
operation of the cylinder. Therefore, stacking sequence
in the drawing right (correct) is required in this
combination.
In A to T flow in the drawing left (incorrect), pressure
is generated at part with a throttle effect of the
throttle and check modular valves.
The pressure so generated acts to shut the pilot
operated check modular valve and eventually creates
an open and shut operation of the valve repeatedly
which may cause the cylinder to have a knocking
effect (the same effect will occur in the case of B to T
flow). Therefore. The stacking sequence in the
drawing right (correct) is required in this combination.
