Abstract

This invention relates to an electrically controlled flow control valve in which it is possible for the pilot fluid pressure which controls the main metering spool to build to full inlet pressure if necessary to initiate movement of the spool. An electrically operated solenoid operates a control poppet which regulates the pressure of the pilot fluid to position the metering spool.
