Abstract
A directional control valve for a hydraulic load has, in a piston bore of a valve housing, a control piston which can be displaced axially in opposite directions from a central position and which has first fine control grooves for opening a connection between a load chamber and a feed chamber. There are second fine control grooves for opening a connection between a load chamber and a discharge chamber of the piston bore under control. In its central position, there is a restricted relief connection from a load chamber to the discharge chamber via the control piston. The restricted relief connection is obtained via a recess in the control piston, independently of the second fine control grooves.
