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

This is a valve specially designed for use in log splitters.
During extension, it significantly increases the piston speed through the integrated rapid-traverse function. The returning oil from the piston-rod side of the cylinder is then additionally routed to the piston-bottom side.
As soon as the pressure in the cylinder increases (that is, 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 valve is then set to the rearmost position. This position is detented, and the control valve retracts the cylinder without active operation. Once the end position is reached, the valve switches back to the neutral circulation mode, and the oil flows through the system without pressure.
This function is also called kick-out.

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