Circuit Types – Parallel Circuit

In the open-center parallel circuit, oil flows through the open-center passage when all of the spools are in neutral. When spools are shifted, oil is diverted into the parallel path and available to each of the selected work-sections. Simultaneous operation can be achieved, when two or more spools are selected. However, since oil will take the path of least resistance the operator must meter the flow to each function to get a desired function speed.

Circuit Types – Tandem Circuit (Priority)

In the open-center tandem circuit, oil flows through the open-center passage when all of the spools are in neutral. Tandem work-sections are fed from the open center and the parallel path is blocked. A tandem work-section will give priority to an upstream work-section.
