PV76-31A Valve

SYMBOL:
PV76-31A Valve symbol

DESCRIPTION
A solenoid-operated, electrically-variable, 3-port, normally open, pressure-compensated, proportional flow control, spool-type, screw-in hydraulic cartridge valve. It can be used as a priority-type flow regulator with pressure-compensated, regulated and bypass flow. It can also be used as a restrictive-type 2-way, pressure-compensated flow regulator when the bypass line (port 2) is blocked.

OPERATION
The PV76-31A will regulate flow out of port 3 regardless of system working pressure.
With an increasing current applied to the solenoid, output flow will decrease.
Note: When used as a bypass flow control in applications where the priority flow port will be blocked by external valving (dead-headed), bypass pressure drop will increase unless a small amount of leakage is provided for the priority port. Consult factory.

Manual Override: To Engage: Turn clockwise approximately 1 turn to reach start point.
Continue another approximately 5 turns to full shift.
To Disengage: Turn counterclockwise approximately 6 turns until positive stop is found.

FEATURES
• Excellent linearity and hysteresis characteristics.
• Hardened spool and cage for long life.
• Optional coil voltages and terminations.
• Efficient wet-armature construction.
• Manual Override option.
