ZL72-31 Proportional, Bi-Directional Flow Control, (ZL72-31)
A solenoid-operated, electrically-variable, pressure-compensated, spool-type, normally open when de-energized, proportional, bi-directional flow control valve. An internal compensator spool provides compensated flow across the proportional orifice regardless of flow direction.
Product Operation
The ZL72-31 provides regulated flow in both directions: from port ➁ to port ➂, or from port ➂ to port ➁. Port ➀ should be blocked. Regulated flow is inversely proportional to electric current applied to the solenoid.
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.
