The circuit shows two motors that can be operated in series or in parallel.
- Pilot-to-open logic element: LO*C
- 2/4 way solenoid valve: DN*A
Benefits of this circuit arrangement:
- Two motors are driven from a directional valve DCV 1 for high flow.
- Only one 2/2-way directional valve DCV 2 is required in the pilot line of three pilot-to-close logic elements LO*C to change from parallel to series drive.
- CAUTION: The two motors are mechanically linked if they are used to drive wheels of a vehicle. Due to leakage of the first motor, the second one receives less oil than the first one and may activate. Leakage compensation may be required.
