Directional spool valves are a type of directional valve. They control the direction of movement and the velocity of single and double-acting hydraulic consumers. The directional spool valve bank type SWS is available with series connection. The consumers can be operated with on-off or proportional control. Versions are available for usage in potentially explosive atmospheres. By means of additional functions in the pump line, in the intermediate plates (longitudinal and sandwich valve combination) and ancillary blocks the directional spool valve bank can be flexibly adapted to different control tasks. Intended applications include mobile hydraulics, in particular civil engineering, agricultural engineering and material handling. Features and benefits: Can be combined for forklift trucks with lifting modules Suitable for constant pressure systems Proportional movements can also be controlled independently of the load Extensive range of ancillary blocks Compact and extremely space-saving dimensions
