Sammlung:3-3-Way Hand Lever Valves

3-3-way hand lever valves control single-acting cylinders by hand. One lever position feeds oil to port A to extend the cylinder; the other releases A to tank so the load or a spring retracts it. In neutral, A is blocked and the cylinder holds its position. The lever springs back to neutral when released.

Single-acting cylinders have only one oil connection, so a 3-way valve is enough to work them, and the circuit needs only one line to the cylinder. Typical uses are lifting cylinders and tipping or pressing movements where gravity or a spring provides the return stroke.

In a modular system, the 3-3-way section is one slice of a valve block. It can be combined with 4-3-way sections for double-acting cylinders or hydraulic motors in the same block, which also needs an inlet section with pressure relief valve, an outlet section and a tie rod set for the total number of sections. Check flow, pressure rating and port thread against the circuit.
