Description: A shuttle valve in hydraulic systems is a component directing fluid flow from multiple inputs to a single output. It appears as a cylindrical or block-shaped device with multiple ports. Its internal design allows selective fluid redirection, enabling system versatility and control in various hydraulic applications.
Operation: A shuttle valve selectively redirects hydraulic fluid from multiple inputs to a single output. When pressure is higher in one input, the valve shifts, allowing flow from that source.
Its versatility in choosing between inputs makes it ideal for applications requiring alternate fluid sources or redundancy for continuous operation.
