Abstract:
A manually operated spool type closed center flow control valve having two lockout check valves, one for each end of a doubleacting pressure fluid actuated motor. The valve affords precise spool metering of pressure fluid returning from either end of the motor to the hydraulic system reservoir because both lockout check valves are fully opened and maintained open prior to, and entirely independent of, any flow of fluid to or from either end of the motor. Thus fluid flowing through either of the fully open lockout check valves can in no way interfere with precise spool metering of flow through the control valve. The flow metering spool can also be positioned to afford floating movement of the motor plunger and rod in either direction in response to an applied external load.

Abstract:
A fluid control valve including a spool whose end exposable to corrosion environment is tapered to a reduced diameter and coated with corrosion resistant material. The reduced diameter facilitates fast, economical final machining and sizing of the spool without damaging the protective coating, for selective fitting within a fluid control valve body bore.
