[101] 3/2-way valve (slide principle) (1)
The 3/2-way valve has a working port A, a supply port P and a tank port T. The volumetric flow can be routed from the supply port to the working port, or from the working port to the tank port. The third port in each case is closed. In the normal position shown, P is closed and flow is released from A to T.
