A solenoid valve operated, 3 way 2 positions, seated type, direct acting, screw-in hydraulic directional cartridge valve. In the de-energized mode, the SVC0.S08 allows flow bidirectionally between ports 2 and 3, while blocking flow at 1. In this stage the leakage on port 1 is very limited. As soon as the coil is energized there is a transitory phase in which all the ports are blocked. In the energized mode, bidirectional flow is allowed between ports 1 and 2, while flow is blocked at 3 with a low leakage. The rigid design using a 1-piece body contributes to minimize the effect of eccentricities in cavity and provides great reliability. Low pressure drop thanks to optimized flow path.
