3) The cleanliness classes stated for the components need to be
maintained in hydraulic systems. Effective filtration prevents
faults and at the same time increases the life cycle of the
components.

control spool of the main stage is moved into the end position
and the cylinder axis leaves its position at maximum velocity.
If a "WG152" directional sandwich plate valve is used between
pilot control valve and main stage, the control chambers are
unloaded from the pilot control valve to the main control spool
and the control spool of the main stage is centered in central
position or in a preferred position by springs. Consequently, the
cylinder axis leaves its position at minimum velocity.
2) Positive command value at D vis-à-vis E results in flow from P to A
at the main stage.
3) Current input ±10 mA as option, input resistance 1 kΩ; in the
ordering code, extend the type by "– 280".
