Abstract: A hydraulic valve has a non-heating, low-power electric control. A main valve is movable in a main valve body to interconnect and isolate pressure, tank or drain and cylinder passages. Pressure to operate the main valve is controlled by pilot poppet valves having passages joined to the pressure and tank passages. The poppet pilot valves are individually actuated by the solenoids. Alternatively, the main valve body may have pressure and drain poppet valves arranged in pairs with similar, non-heating solenoid actuators for the pressure valves and cross-connected pressure actuation for the drain valves.
