The proportional auxiliary spool valves, of the Bosch/Rexroth SB23 LS type, are fitted to the high flow rate high pressure circuit. They are fed by the oil coming from the priority block(s). When no functions are being activated, the entire flow rate is directed towards the spool valves. If certain priority functions are being supplied, the remaining flow is then available for the auxiliary spool valves. Each spool valve has a flow regulating system controlled by a black, red, green or yellow button located directly on the each spool valve regulating valve stem. The main spool of the valve is controlled by a cable linked to a lever in the cab. The spool directs oil towards either outlet port. Each outlet port is linked to the LS pilot line of the variable displacement pump regulating valve via the priority block(s). The auxiliary spool valves are made up of elements themselves containing spools and valves. Some elements cannot be identified as spare parts.
Different types of spool valve block components
A spool valve block can consist of three, four or five of the following components. It can combine components of similar type of or different types.
Component b
4-position component with flow rate regulation, double acting and automatic return to neutral.
Component c
4-position component with flow rate regulation, double acting, zero leak and automatic return to neutral.
Couplers
The quick-disconnect couplings are held by a bracket on the centre housing. They are sealed by covers of different colours (red, green, black or yellow) corresponding respectively to hydraulic ports A and B of auxiliary spool valves. When the auxiliary spool valve is at rest, a lever system (1) allows existing pressure to be relieved into the hydraulic hoses (2). These hoses link the spool valves with the concerned couplers (3). By acting on this system, the clean oil under pressure is directed to the return via a hose and pipe assembly (4) connected to the upper part of the intermediate housing. This drop in pressure facilitates the connecting of the male coupler to the female coupler. The contaminated oil, coming from the separation of the couplers, flows into flexible and transparent tanks (5) located on either side of the third-point linkage.
Operation
When the lever in the cab is pulled (spool (1) pushed), the oil enters via channel P and travels towards the restrictor of the flow regulation control spool (5) and grooves of the main spool (1). The oil is then carried towards a main channel and lifts the ball of valve (2) to enter a chamber. Displacement of the spool (1) simultaneously opens the one-way valve (3). The oil flows from the chamber towards port A and returns to the housing through port B via the hydraulic slave device. The operating principle is identical when the lever is pushed (spool (1) pulled). The oil flows from the chamber towards port B and returns to the housing through port A via the hydraulic slave device.
