| Power Source Symbols |
 |
Power source (simplified) |
 |
Electric Power unit, consisting of a fluid reservoir, pump, electric motor, pressure-relief valve, pressure switch, clamping valve, and gauge. |
 |
Electric motor, showing direction of rotation |
 |
Constant displacement pump |
 |
Variable displacement pump |
 |

| Valve Symbols |
 |
3/2 directional-control valve (3-way, 2-position),
complete symbol with solenoid operator and
spring return (normally open) |
 |
Boxes showing valve positions (two). For valves
with spring return, the neutral position is shown at left (0). |
 |
Inlet and outlet connections are drawn at the
neutral-position box, and are designed by capital letters:
P
A, B, C...
R, S, T
L
Z, Y, Z |
= Inlet pressure from pump
= Operating connections
= Outlet return (tank)
= Leakage line
= Control Lines |
|
 |
Flow lines and directions are shown in each valve-position box. Lines show flow path, arrows show flow direction. Shutoffs are designated by capped-off lines inside the box. |
 |
Valves can be normally open, as shown on top (clamped in neutral position), or normally closed, as shown on bottom (unclamped in neutral position) |
 |
Valve operators are shown outside the boxes |
