What is the difference between a DA and SA valve?
4 SPOOL SV VALVE OPEN CENTER W/POWER BEYOND
Looking here to put together a stack valve I have 2 DA cyl spool w/ detented float (thinking TnT here)
one DA cyl spool with detented 3 position float (thinking for holding flow on for 3pt wood splitter)
what about the 4th valve SA or DA ?? what are the differences here. I don't see any SCV as options, but thinking they might be handy.
SA is a single acting hydraulic. This equals pressure to extend and gravity to retract. Not something that many people use on a tractor anymore.
DA is double acting. Pressure to extend and to retract. Cylinder can be in any position and still work properly.
