The Hydraforce GSV08-3111 is a high-performance, solenoid-operated, 3-way, 2-position, normally closed, poppet-type screw-in hydraulic cartridge valve. In its de-energized state, the valve effectively blocks flow from port 2 to port 3, while flow from port 3 to port 2 is always blocked. Upon energizing the coil, the poppet shifts to open the flow path from port 2 to port 3. Designed for low leakage, this valve is an excellent choice for load-holding applications and general-purpose hydraulic circuits requiring reliable blocking and directional control.
