ABSTRACT:
A reduced drive area hydraulically actuated spool valve is protected against cavitation and provided with enhanced lubrication by connecting the variable volume inside the valve housing adjacent the non drive area of the spool end to the source of pressure fluid controlled by the valve. A stub piston is affixed to the spool end in fluid tight relationship, e.g. integral, to exclude the pressure fluid from the area therebetween. A floating cylinder is provided for the stub piston to eliminate the need for precise alignment of the stub piston axis with respect to the housing. Fluid passages substantially balance the fluid force acting on this floating cylinder to keep it from binding, this being just enough unbalance to hold the cylinder end against a ball pivot.
