3/2 directional valve, also known as three-position two-way directional valve, is a special type of hydraulic control valve. The following is a detailed explanation of 3/2 directional valve:
1. Definition and structure
3/2 directional valve has three working positions and two oil ports. Among them, the three working positions usually include the middle position, the left position and the right position, while the two oil ports are used to connect the oil circuit in the hydraulic system. The structure of this valve is relatively simple, mainly composed of valve body, valve core, spring and other components.
2. Working principle
The working principle of 3/2 directional valve is to switch the connection state of the oil circuit by changing the position of the valve core in the valve body. When the valve core is in the middle position, the two oil ports are isolated from each other and the oil circuit is blocked; when the valve core moves to the left or right position, the isolation between the two oil ports is broken, and the oil circuit is connected, thereby realizing the control of the flow direction of the oil in the hydraulic system.
3. Application and characteristics
3/2 directional valve is widely used in hydraulic systems, especially in situations where the movement direction of hydraulic actuators needs to be controlled. Its main features are simple structure, reliable operation and easy maintenance. At the same time, since there are only two oil ports, its control logic is relatively simple, which is convenient for automatic control.
In summary, the 3/2 directional valve is one of the indispensable and important components in the hydraulic system.
