Product Overview
The EATON 403AA01097A / S221G-88B is a high-performance solenoid-operated directional control valve engineered within the Vickers by Eaton hydraulic valve platform. This component functions as a four-way, three-position (4/3) spool valve designed to direct and manage hydraulic fluid flow within complex industrial circuits. By utilizing a robust solenoid actuation mechanism, this valve provides precise control over the start, stop, and direction of movement for hydraulic actuators, ensuring reliable switching operations in high-cycle industrial environments. It serves as a critical control interface in systems requiring dependable flow routing and leak-free load holding capabilities.
