ABSTRACT:
A flow control valve includes a valve body defining a main bore and a cross-drilled bore communicating therewith. A valve spool is reciprocable within the main bore and includes first and second lands connected by a reduced diameter connecting portion. The connecting portion has fixed relative thereto and thereabout an annular rib, positioned between the two lands. The rib acts as a guide to direct fluid substantially perpendicular to the axis of reciprocal motion of the spool when the spool is positioned to allow fluid flow between the main and cross-drilled bores, to minimize fluid flow forces tending to hold the spool in an open position.
