Operating Principle
The 3/2 directional control valve features three ports (one inlet and two outlets) and two switching positions. In the default position, the inlet pressure is directed to a designated outlet, while the other outlet remains closed. By flipping the manual lever, the flow is redirected to the alternate outlet, allowing two different functions to be controlled through a single supply line. This solution is especially advantageous when a machine performs multiple cycles or alternating functions.
