Directional Control Linear Valve Sleeve And Slide

Directional control linear valve sleeves and slides are components used in hydraulic systems to control the flow of fluid and the direction of movement in a linear motion application.

A valve sleeve is a cylindrical component that houses the valve spool or slide. It provides a seal between the valve body and the spool, preventing leakage of fluid. The valve sleeve also guides the movement of the spool, ensuring smooth and precise operation.

A valve slide, on the other hand, is a flat or rectangular component that slides within the valve body. It is typically used in 2-way or 3-way valves to control the flow of fluid. The slide has different ports or channels that allow the fluid to enter and exit the valve body, depending on its position.

Both valve sleeves and slides are crucial in controlling the direction of fluid flow in hydraulic systems. By moving the spool or slide within the valve body, the operator can determine which ports are open or closed, allowing the fluid to flow in the desired direction.

These components are commonly found in various applications, such as industrial machinery, construction equipment, and automotive systems, where precise control of fluid flow and direction is required.
