General Information
The Brand, DCF directional flow
control valve combines the features of a four-way directional control valve, a
full range pressure compensated by-pass type flow control valve, and a pilot
operated pressure relief valve, all in one compact package. This valve reduces
the number of fittings, plumbing and potential leakage points in hydraulic
circuits. The manual handle provides fine metering to either port. Flow to the
work port is directly proportional to the movement of the lever. Flow out of
each work port is constant regardless of load changes, this allows the customer
to maintain smooth and constant movement of a cylinder or motor. Every DCF
comes standard with a pilot operated relief. The tank port must be plumbed
directly back to tank.
The Brand, DC directional control valve does not have the flow control feature
of the DCF. The DC can be used in series but the spool is difficult to shift
when there is tank pressure. The DC offers an optional high lift ball spring
relief to take the place
