Abstract
A control valve includes a valve body having a first, second and third port, and a valve spool disposed in the valve body. The valve spool has a first and second end, and includes a first, second and third land. The first land is disposed at the first end for receiving hydraulic pressure supplied via the first port to bias the valve spool in a first direction. The second land allows fluid communication between the second and third ports when the valve spool is biased in the first direction, and the third land is disposed between the first and second land. The third land includes a passage which allows fluid communication between each side of the third land. A spring biased the valve spool in a second direction, opposite the first direction.
