ABSTRACT:
A three-position switching valve has a spool positioned in a valve hole that is moved relative to two drive chambers positioned on either end of the valve hole. Solenoid-controlled pilot valves are provided to control supplying and ejecting a pilot fluid to and from the two respective drive chambers. This spool is held at a neutral position by the provision of two piston chambers being formed adjacent to each of the drive chambers and constantly receiving pilot fluid through a channel, the piston chambers each having a smaller diameter than that of the drive chambers. Each piston chamber accommodates a piston which may slidably move so as to be urged by pilot fluid toward the spool and a linking member interposed between each of the pistons and the spool. A return spring is interposed between each of the pistons and each linking member as part of the structure holding the spools at the neutral position.
