Control Components: Path)

There are three basic types of control devices: direction control valves, pressure control valves, and flow control valves. Direction control valves control the path of fluid flow and come in various configurations like check valves, shuttle valves, and 2-way, 3-way, and 4-way directional control valves. These valves use poppet or spool designs to control fluid flow between ports in different positions. Common direction control valves include check valves to allow one-way flow, 3-way valves to control flow between three ports, and 4-way valves to control flow between four ports. Selection of control valves involves choosing the right type, size, actuation method, and remote control capability to properly control a fluid power system.

Three basic types of control devices: Direction Control Valves (control fluid path) Check Valves Shuttle Valves 2-Way, 3-Way, 4-Way DCV Pressure Control Valves (protect system) Flow Control Valves (speed control)

Control device
Most important considerations In any fluid power system. If control components are not properly selected, the entire system will not function as required. Fluid power is controlled primarily through the use of control device called valves. The selection of these valves involves not only the type but also the size, actuating technique and remote control capability.

Direction Control Valves


As the name implies, directional control valve are used to control the direction of flow in a hydraulic circuit. Any valve regardless of its design contain ports that are external openings through which the fluid can enter and leave via connecting pipelines. The number of ports on a DCV is identified using the term way. for example a valve with four ports is four- way valve

Check valve
The simplest type of directional control valve is check valve, which is a two- way valve because it contain two ports. The purpose of check valve to permits free flow in one direction and prevent any flow in the opposite direction.

Check valve the poppet

By Yegetaneh

---cont
A poppet is a specially shaped plug element held onto a seat(a surface surrounding the flow path opening inside the valve body) by spring. Fluid flows through the valve in space between the seat and poppet. A light spring holds the poppet in the closed position. In the free flow direction the fluid pressure the spring force at certain pressure.

Pilot operated check valve


This type of check valve always permit free flow in one direction but permits flow in the normally blocked opposite direction if pilot pressure is applied at the pilot pressure port of the valve. The check valve poppet has the pilot piston attached the treaded poppet stem by nut. The light spring holds the poppet seated in a non flow condition by pushing against the pilot piston. The purpose of the separate drain port is to prevent oil from creating a pressure build up on the bottom of the piston.

Three way valves


Which contain three ports, are typically of the spool design rather than poppet design. A spool is a circular shaft containing lands that are large diameter section machined to slide in a very close fitting bore of the valve body. Spool position 1: flow can go from pump port P(the port connected to the pump discharge pipe) to outlet port A as shown by the straight line and arrow in the left envelope. In this spool position tank port T( the port connected the pipe leading to the oil thank) is blocked.

Spool position 2: flow can go from port A to port T. port p is blocked by the spool. Note that the three ports are labeled for only one of the two envelops of the graphic symbol.
