Abstract: A modular directional valve with two or more elements (E1, E2, E3, E4) in turn connectable to respective utilities (U) through the uses (A1, B1, A2 . . .

The valve designed to be connected to a first high pressure line P1 which connects the crossing elements to a constant displacement pump (PA) and a second high pressure line P2 which connects the LS flow sharing type elements to a variable displacement pump LS, the connection to a low pressure line, the connection to a load sensing signal line (LS2) with the variable displacement pump LS (PB).

Abstract: Modular directional valve with two or more crossing elements (E1 . . . En) able, acting only on the entry side, to manage a variable displacement pump (PA) of the load sensing type. In particular, this management allows in a single drive, unlike the conventional crossing distributors, to make the flow rate to the utility independent of the load and allows setting a maximum flow rate at the end of the stroke; in multiple drives, it ensures that the sum of the required flow rates is independent of the loads. A compensated flow rate regulator is placed in the entry side so as to act only on the bypass line LC upstream of the first element (E1 . . . En) while a proportional choke is placed on the load line consisting of a 2-way 2-position tray.

The spring (M7) must generate a minimum load that is slightly greater than the pressure drop of the maximum flow-rate through the local pressure compensator (3).

Abstract: The invention relates to the field of hydraulic directional control valves and refers to an anti-saturation directional control valve (V) composed of two or more sections in each of whom there is a pressure selector compensator with a six-way two-position spool (4) of the proportional type and a compensator (3) performing the function of pressure compensator.
