Download DatasheetSpool valve to (change or control) joystick operation
Holmbury’s PC Series pattern changer spool valve is designed to switch joystick functionality on equipment such as excavators. When operators move from one machine to another, they can set-up the joystick controls to function in a familiar format. This reduces re-training time, limits accidents caused by unfamiliar controls and avoids the need to switch hoses. The pattern changer is hand operated and has four inlet ports and four outlet ports. It provides 8-way, two position control of pilot signals.
