ABSTRACT:
A proportional pressure control valve having a sleeve having a high-pressure source port, a low-pressure source port and an outlet port and a spool mounted in the sleeve kept in slide contact with the sleeve. Annular seals made of a resilient material are inserted in an annular groove formed in the inner surface of the sleeve. A spring is provided for biasing the spool axially. Valve portions are formed by shoulder portions on the annular seals and shoulder portions on the spool to open and close communication between the high-pressure source port and the outlet port and between the outlet port and the low-pressure source port as the spool moves. They are positioned so that when the spool moves in one direction, communication between the high-pressure source port and the outlet port opens and communication between the outlet port and the low-pressure source port is closed. At least one of the sectional areas of the slide contact portions between the spool and the sleeve and the sectional areas of the shoulder portions formed on the spool is greater or smaller than the others.
