Cylinders
Single-acting cylinder with return stroke by spring
Double-acting cylinder with single piston rod
(The piston end is called plus side and the piston rod end is called
minus side)
Valves
Non-return valve which requires very low opening pressure
Non-return valve which requires a certain opening pressure
Lockable non-return valve which requires a close control
De-lockable non-return valve which requires a open control.
Shuttle valve
Pressure-limiting valve
Pressure-limiting valve with adjustable opening pressure
Pressure-reducing valve
Pressure-reducing valve with adjustable closing pressure
Pressure-reducing valve, pressure controlled
Three-position valve, lever-controlled and spring-centred
Lines parallel with the long sides of the valve symbol show that the
valve can take up any position between its end positions (stepless
movement)
Shut-off valve / Breather valve
Application
The symbols in a diagram show connections, flow paths and function of the components in the system, but does not show
the design of the components.
NOTE!
In a hydraulic diagram the valve symbols are always drawn in neutral position.
Valve symbols
The basic element of a valve symbol is a square box. One box is shown for each position that the moving part of a valve
(spool or similar) can take up.
Figure 1
Valve symbol
If the valve does not have fixed positions, but can be operated steplessly, this is shown with parallel lines along the valve
symbol.
Figure 2
Valve symbol, steplessly controlled valve
Internal flow paths and flow directions are drawn in the boxes. Line connections to the valve are drawn to the box that
shows the valve position when other components are actuated according to the diagram.

Open valve
Interpretation of valve symbols
In a three-position valve the spool can be placed in three positions, which in the symbol are represented by one box for
each position. The box that represents the intended position is drawn between the line connections, which means that the
appropriate connecting paths in the valve are shown in the diagram.
The position in the diagram

Neutral position
1. Inlet
2. Outlet
The spool is centred in neutral position by the springs. The inlet is connected to the outlet through the spool.

1. Inlet
2. Outlet
The spool is actuated with the lever so that the plus side of the cylinder is connected to the inlet at the same time as the
minus side is connected to the tank.

2. Outlet
The spool is actuated with the lever so that the minus side of the cylinder is connected to the inlet at the same time as the
plus side is connected to the tank.
