A solenoid valve operated, 2 way 2 positions, spool type, direct acting, screw-in hydraulic directional cartridge valve. In the de-energized mode, the SVF0.S08 blocks flow bidirectionally. In the energized mode bidirectional flow is allowed between ports 1 and 2. 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.
