And we have followed this mainly i would say the hydraulic control system by merritt, that book. Lapped spool directional control valve is designed to provide users with the flow pattern that they desire in most of the applications. Spools are matched to the individual valve bodies so changing a valve spool in the field is not feasible. A direct or pilotoperated spool valve uses a piston and seals to switch air and is commonly used in 4way valves and 3position valves. As the pressure at the inlet increases, the pressure in the pilot line begins to push against the valve body spool.
Use a spool type directional control valve in this type of circuit. Type sp is available as a valve for manifold mounting. Valve dynamics are controlled by orifice restrictions within the design. Spool valves normally take pressure at any port without malfunction. To say this another way, even when a port in a spool valve is closed off a small amount of leakage should be expected.
