A solenoid-operated, electrically-variable, three-port, pressure-compensated, spool-type, normally closed when de-energized, proportional, bi-directional, priority-type flow control valve.
The ZL72-36 provides priority regulated flow to port 1 with input at port 3, and bypass at port 2; or regulated flow from port 3 to port 2 with input at port 1 blocked. Regulated flow is proportional to electric current applied to the solenoid.
Application Notes: The ZL72-36 may be used for single-acting cylinder applications where lowering is provided by gravity force. There are no minimum load restrictions, provided the load is enough to overcome cylinder friction and other frictions in the system. At low load 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 (SV10-20 type) connected as shown on the circuit symbol and placed close to the ZL72-36 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.
• Excellent linearity and hysteresis.
• Optional coil voltages and terminations.
• Hardened spool and cage for long life.
• Manual override option.
• Efficient wet armature construction.
