SERIES 38 – GENERAL INFORMATION: The Brand, Series 38 electric sectional directional control valves are assembled to meet our customer’s requirements for up to twelve individual applications per assembly. Brand Hydraulics does not charge extra for this assembly process, an assembly is priced solely on the overall sum of the prices of its components. The Series 38 is available with electric unloading in the inlet section. The flow goes directly to tank in the neutral condition. Neutral flow does not pass through the spool sections; therefore, the neutral pressure drop to tank remains low and constant...

SERIES 38 – GENERAL INFORMATION CONT… HIGH SPOOL SECTIONS – offer the same options as listed for the low sections with the addition of individual port reliefs. Three types of reliefs are offered for high sections machined with port relief cavities, ball spring (B), area-differential (R), or area-differential with anti-cavitation check (C). The high section can also be made with a pilot-operated double lock (38BL2G). END SPOOL SECTIONS – are the last spool section of an assembly. The end section is not an outlet and it does not have cross-holes drilled all the way through the casting. ELECTRIC/MANUAL...
