PVBS,<br />
MAIN SPOOLS FOR FLOW<br />
CONTROL (STANDARD)<br />
When using standard flow control spools, the pump pressure is determined by the<br />
highest load pressure. This is done either via the pressure adjustment spool in open<br />
centre PVP (fixed displacement pumps) or via the pump regulator (variable displacement<br />
pumps).<br />
In this way the pump pressure will always correspond to the load pressure plus the<br />
stand-by pressure of the pressure adjustment spool or the pump regulator.<br />
This will normally give optimum and stable adjustment of the oil flow.<br />

MAIN SPOOLS<br />
FOR FLOW CONTROL<br />
(WITH LINEAR<br />
CHARACTERISTIC)<br />
PVBS main spools with linear characteristic have less dead band than standard spools<br />
and a completely proportional ratio between control signal and oil flow in the range<br />
beyond the dead band. PVBS with linear characteristic must never be used together with<br />
PVEM electrical actuators. The interaction between the small dead band of the spools<br />
and the hysteresis of the PVEM actuator of 20% involves a risk of building up a LS<br />
pressure in neutral position.<br />
PVBS,<br />
MAIN SPOOLS FOR<br />
PRESSURE CONTROL<br />
In a few systems load sensing pump<br />
pressure may result in unstable adjustment<br />
of the oil flow and a tendency<br />
towards system hunting. This may be the<br />
case with working functions that have a<br />
large moment of inertia or over-centre<br />
valves. In such systems main spools for<br />
pressure control can be advantageous.<br />
The spools are designed in such a way<br />
that the pump pressure is controlled by<br />
the spool travel. The main spool must be<br />
displaced until the pump pressure just<br />
exceeds the load pressure before the working function is applied. If the main spool is<br />
held in this position, the pump pressure will remain constant – even if the load pressure<br />
changes – giving a stable system.<br />
The use of pressure control spools, however, also means that<br />
• the oil flow is load dependent<br />
• the dead band is load dependent<br />
• the pump pressure can exceed the load pressure by more than is usual.<br />
Due to these factors it is recommended that pressure control spools are only used when<br />
it is known for certain that problems with stability will arise – or already have arisen.<br />
