Hydraulic Valves Crossword Puzzle

QUESTIONS LIST:

• float : a fourth dcv position that allows free flow between an actuator’s a and b ports.
• pilot oil : a term to describe a low-pressure oil system used to actuated the spools in a dcv.
• lands : the larger part of a valve spool that creates a seal in the valve body.
• brake valve : a valve used to limit motor speed when a load tries to overrun it.
• flow divider : a component used to split one source flow into two or more separate flows.
• relief valve : a simple normally closed valves that opens when oil pressure overcomes its spring pressure.
• cartridge valve : a type of pre-assembled valve that is easily serviceable; two types are thread-in and slip-in valves.
• sequence valve : a valve to ensure two or more cylinders connected in series operate in a specific sequence.
• check valve : a type of valve that allows the flow of gas or liquid in one direction only.
• grooves : the smaller diameter part of a valve spool that allows oil to flow past it and through the valve when it is shifted.
• ways : a term used to describe the number of ports that one section of dcv has on its external surface.
• flow meter : a tool used to measure fluid flow in a hydraulic system.
• spool : the name for the movable part of a dcv valve that blocks oil flow and allows oil flow when shifted.
• load check valve : a valve used to hold or lower a load in a controlled manner that is supported by a cylinder.
• anti cavitation valve : check valves that allow tank oil to flow into an actuator if pressure falls below tank pressure.
