ZL70-36 Proportional, Bi-Directional Flow Control, (ZL70-36)

A solenoid-operated, electrically-variable, three-port, pressure-compensated, spool-type, normally closed when de-energized, proportional, bi-directional, priority-type flow control valve.

Product Operation

The ZL70-36 provides priority regulated flow from port 1 to port 3 with bypass at port 2; or regulated flow from port 3 to port 2 with port 1 blocked externally, typically with a check valve (see symbol drawing). Regulated flow is proportional to electric current applied to the solenoid.
Application Notes: The ZL70-36 may be used for single-acting cylinder applications where lowering is provided by gravity force. The ZL 70-36 has no minimum load restrictions provided the load is enough to overcome cylinder friction and other frictions in the system. At low loads, the lowering speed can be slower than at heavier load if pressure drop is less than the compensation value of the valve.
The hydraulic circuit must include a check valve and a poppet-type solenoid valve (SV08-20 type) connected as shown on the circuit symbol and placed close to the ZL70-36 valve, if possible in the same manifold. See Application Guide.
Operation of 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.
