Linear Directional Control Valve Working Body Section

The working body section of a linear directional control valve refers to the internal components and mechanisms that allow the valve to control the flow of fluid in a linear direction. In the context of the supply class Valves, Nonpowered in the supply group Valves, the working body section of a linear directional control valve typically includes the following components:

1. Valve Body: This is the main housing of the valve that contains the internal components and provides the connection points for fluid flow.

2. Spool: The spool is a cylindrical or rectangular-shaped component that slides within the valve body to control the flow of fluid. It has various ports and channels that align with different flow paths when moved.

3. Actuator: The actuator is responsible for moving the spool within the valve body. It can be manual, such as a lever or knob, or powered, such as a solenoid or hydraulic cylinder.

4. Ports: The valve body has inlet and outlet ports that allow fluid to enter and exit the valve. These ports are connected to the system where the valve is installed.

5. Seals: Seals are used to prevent leakage of fluid between the moving parts of the valve. They ensure a tight seal when the valve is in the closed position.

6. Springs: Some linear directional control valves may have springs to provide a default position for the spool. These springs help return the spool to its original position when the actuator is not actively moving it.

7. Flow Control Mechanisms: Depending on the specific design and application, linear directional control valves may include additional flow control mechanisms such as flow restrictors, check valves, or pressure relief valves.

These are the general components that make up the working body section of a linear directional control valve in the Valves, Nonpowered supply class. However, it's important to note that the exact design and features of the valve can vary depending on the specific manufacturer and application requirements.
