TS -- GENERAL INFORMATION

The Brand, mono block directional control valve is available in one (TS1), two (TS2) and three (TS3) spool configurations. This valve was designed for applications in which one valve is required to operate separate circuits independently. The TS offers parallel, tandem center 4-way, open center 4-way(motor spool), and tandem 3-way spools. The valve is also field convertible to closed center and power beyond.

SPOOLS - The tandem three-way (T3) powers a cylinder in one direction. Tandem center 4-way (T) powers a cylinder or a motor in both directions. Closed center 4-way (C) blocks all ports in neutral and must be used with a pressure compensated pump. Open center 4-way (O) connects all ports to tank when in neutral.

SPOOL ACTION - Three position detent (D) holds the spool in neutral and both active positions. Rotary friction detent (E) applies friction to the spool as it is rotated so that the handle does not rotate when the handle is released, a detent groove clearly indicates neutral position (only available on TS1). Friction detent (F1) applies friction to the spool so that the spool does not move when the handle is released, a detent groove clearly indicates neutral position. Spring center (S) returns the handle to neutral when the handle is released. Spring center detent (SD) springs back to neutral from one position and is mechanically detented in the other position. Fourth position float (K) is similar to spring center except it has a fourth position that makes all ports common to each other (last spool section only). Normally open electric switch (WO) is used with (S), (F1) and (D) options. Normally closed electric switch (WC) is used with (S), (F1) and (D) options. The electric switches can be used on the TS1, TS2 and TS3 (first and third spool only).

ACTUATORS - Lever handle (L) pressurizes the B port when the handle is pushed towards the valve body. Lever handle (J) pressurizes the A port when the handle is pushed towards the valve body. Rotary handle (H) is used to rotate spool in or out. No actuator (N) is used when it is necessary to connect the spool to an external actuator (L type spool). No actuator (M) is used when it is necessary to connect the spool to an external actuator (J type spool).

OPTIONS - Power beyond (W) offers high pressure carryover for valves down stream. The TS series is also field convertible to power beyond. Area differential relief cartridge (B) is available in pressure intervals of 100 psi.

GENERAL CONVERSION INFORMATION

NOTE: The standard 1, 2 and 3 spool castings with (O) or (T) spools are assembled at the factory with the TS315 plug in the 10SAE (7/8-14) (1) top port.

CLOSED CENTER CONVERSION - To have the casting in closed center operation, both the top port (1) and internal port (2) must be plugged. Take the TS315 plug from the top port (1) and insert it into the internal port (2). Then plug the top port (1) with any std. SAE plug (7/8 - 14) or purchase a plug from the factory. Closed center blocks "Pump" only, the condition of ports A and B depend on the spool type. (See illustration above)

POWER BEYOND CONVERSION - To convert the valve to power beyond operation, take the TS315 plug from the top port (1) and insert it into the internal port (2). Next, plumb a #10 SAE ;fitting from the top port (1) to the adjoining valve. Lastly, run a line from the #12 SAE outlet port (3) to the reservoir. (See illustration above)
