Hydraulic valve with rapid traverse and kick-out for log splitters

This is a valve specially designed for use in log splitters.
During extension, the integrated rapid traverse function significantly increases the piston speed. The returning oil from the piston rod side of the cylinder is then additionally directed to the piston crown side.
As soon as the pressure in the cylinder increases (i.e. when the splitting wedge reaches the log), the valve switches back to the familiar double-acting function and the system splits the log at full pressure.

The control unit is then moved to its rearmost position. This position is locked, and the control unit retracts the cylinder without active actuation. After reaching the end position, the valve switches back to neutral circulation, and the oil flows through the system without pressure.
This function is also called kick-out.

The valve can be used in conjunction with a wide variety of systems.
The integrated pressure relief valve protects the system against overpressure.
