Spool Valve Control
The ability to use a joystick instead of mechanical linkage for spool valve control of boom and tilt cylinders is a benefit for machine engineers and operators, thanks to the simplicity of the mechanics and the instant-reaction control it gives the operator, not to mention comfort.
Reduced Design Costs
- Multiple speed and feedback options, plus easy interface with electronic controls.
- Actuator wires and switch can be placed anywhere, including away from the operator, and are not limited by hose bend radius.
Reduced Installation Costs
- Actuators allow for more flexible positioning of spool valves in the machine design for reduced installation cost, improved safety and easy access for maintenance.
Reduced Operating Costs
- Maintenance-free, lubricated for life and highly resistant to under-hood temperatures, shock and vibration.
Increased Safety and Productivity
- Valve and hoses can be eliminated from inside the cab, along with the heat and noise of high-pressure hydraulics.
- Programmable motions can reduce the risk of repetitive-motion injuries, and elimination of levers increases operator comfort and visibility.
- Interlocks can prevent dangerous combinations of moves and/or speeds.
- Increases the speed of shaking the bucket for removal of debris.
