LSC Monoblocks - Electric piloting.
The directional control valves for the monoblocks can be controlled hydraulically or electro-hydraulically with high centering forces. Linde
has over 10 years of experience in developing electrohydraulic controls and manufactures around 250,000 pressure reduction valves for
directional control valves every year. These pressure reduction valves are characterized by their rapid pressure build-up and high volume
flow of control oil, ensuring they offer high control speeds. In turn, the directional control valves provide optimal reaction and response
times. They can also be adjusted to ensure the actuator starts to move in the same way every time depending on the joystick deflection.
Two control pressure solenoid valves are available for optimal electrohydraulic control of the directional control valves. These solenoid
valves are matched to the directional control valves in terms of their output and dimensions.

LSC Monoblocks - Configuration examples.
The Linde monoblock concept is designed to match varying machines. The components themselves are basically identical for all types of
machines, which reduces the efforts for warehousing and training needs of the service staff. Below there are three applications examples
arranged. Our sales engineers will be happy to help you selecting the proper components and tuning your application perfectly.
—— Electro-hydraulic piloting
—— Lifting / telescoping / winch at the monoblock
—— Pressure relief block
—— 2x sandwich propel drive
