DescriptionComponent
Distributes hydraulic fluid between the HPU and the control manifold.
It also has fittings for accumulators and filters.
Main manifold1
Distributes hydraulic fluid to and from a single hydraulic channel. A
hydraulic channel is usually associated with an actuator and a
Control manifold2
servovalve. The control manifold also contains a low-pressure solenoid
valve, a high-pressure solenoid valve, a main valve, a slow turn-on
valve, and a pressure gage.
Sets the low-pressure output of the hydraulic channel.Low-pressure

3
Allows low-pressure hydraulic fluid to be output to the hydraulic
channel.

4
Allows high-pressure hydraulic fluid to be output to the hydraulic
channel.

Filters the hydraulic fluid as it is input to the main manifold.Main filter6
Filters the hydraulic fluid as it is input to the pilot pressure circuit.Pilot pressure filter7
Reduces pressure and flow fluctuations resulting from changing system
demands.
