Abstract

In a hydraulic control valve a spool accommodating bore of a valve body has eccentric circular grooves. Hydraulic resistance to the fluid flow in shallow portion of the grooves is more than that in deep portions, owing to which the fluid flow by-passes the high-resistance zones in the shallow portions, so that the total hydraulic resistance and the path of the fluid flow through the valve is reduced.
