Vorgesteuertes Wegeventil mit Positionsermittlung

摘要

A directional control valve is provided which has a position detecting function which utilises a magnet 21 which is prevented from directly contacting hydraulic fluid so that the magnet 21 is not affected by the hydraulic fluid. To achieve this, the magnet 21 is installed on an end portion of a valve member 6 received in a valve hole 5 at a position which is adjacent to a breathing chamber 9 and which is outward of an end sealing member 8 which shuts off the breathing chamber 9 from the hydraulic fluid passages. A magnetic sensor 22 is installed at a position opposite to the magnet 21 in a casing 4, whereby the magnetic sensor 22 detects the magnetic flux density when the magnet 21 moves together with a spool 6 and detects all operating positions of the spool 6 during a stroke from the change in the magnetic flux density.
