You may hear of them as solenoid valves or spool valves as well. The control valves are mostly known for their adjustability and throttling capabilities. But the valves we’re going to talk about them are the types that control the “direction” of the liquid flowing inside the pipe. Directional control valves are used in pneumatic and hydraulic flow control systems. So there are pneumatic directional control valves and hydraulic directional control valves. Sometimes the hydraulic directional control valves are called spool valves. In this video, you'll learn how a directional control valve works and how you should read and interpret its symbols. And all of these are by a real-world application example of a 5/2 solenoid valve in pneumatic systems. =========================== ✅ Please SUBSCRIBE to get notified about the new videos: https://bit.ly/32mlhu9 =========================== SECTIONS of this video: 0:00 Directional Control Valve vs Proportional Valve 0:59 types of Directional Control Valves (Pneumatic and Hydraulic) 1:29 Directional Control Valve application example 2:26 Directional Control Valve components (Housing, Ports, Spool, etc.) 3:01 how directional control valve works (5/2 solenoid valve) 3:50 why do they call it a 5/2 directional control valve? 4:07 Directional Control Valve symbols explained =========================== ▶ If you've missed our most recent videos, watch them here: DCS vs PLC: 5 Important Differences between PLC and DCS https://upmation.com/plc-vs-dcs/ NO vs NC: 5 Practical and Important Points about NO and NC contacts https://upmation.com/no-and-nc/ How Pneumatic Control Valve Works https://upmation.com/control-valve/ =========================== ▶ If you want to become a confident PLC programmer, don't miss this free "Siemens PLC Training" course (This course will be continued): Part 1: Up & Running with PLC Ladder Programming https://upmation.com/plc-hardware-configuration/ Part 2: How to Write PLC Ladder Program? https://upmation.com/ladder-logic-plc-programming/ Part 3: How to Simulate the PLC Program? https://upmation.com/simulate-the-plc-program/ Part 4: Motor Start and Stop Ladder Logic PLC Program https://upmation.com/plc-program/ =========================== FOLLOW US on other Social Media 👉 INSTAGRAM ▶ https://instagram.com/upmationdotcom 👉 TWITTER ▶ https://twitter.com/upmation 👉 FACEBOOK ▶ https://facebook.com/upmation 👉 LINKEDIN ▶ https://Linkedin.com/company/upmation =========================== #DCV #Upmation #ControlValve
