ABSTRACT:
A hydraulic control valve for minimizing fluid leakage from a load actuating cylinder and for protecting the cylinder from damage has a composite valve body with a poppet slidably disposed in a bore and biased to the closed position. A pilot spool, controllable by a proportional solenoid regulates pilot pressure. Regulated pilot pressure allows for accurate control of the poppet for metering fluid from cylinder to tank. A force feedback spring disposed between the poppet and the pilot spool exerts a force on the pilot spool equivalent to the force from the proportional solenoid keeping the forces in equilibrium. Pilot pressure is adjusted to establish the relief pressure setting for the hydraulic control valve while conical sealing surfaces, minimize fluid leakage from cylinder to tank.
