CONTROL SECTION

508348 CONTROL SECTION This set includes the key internal parts, such as spools and seals, needed to overhaul a specific hydraulic control function on your rig. It's responsible for accurately directing the flow of hydraulic oil, allowing the operator to manage everything from boom positioning to drifter functions with precision. A properly working control system is fundamental for efficient and safe drilling cycles.

Worn components within a control valve can lead to significant operational problems. You might notice sluggish or jerky movements, or a boom that slowly drifts down even when the controls are neutral. These issues not only slow down the work but can also create safety hazards. Using a complete set ensures all related wear parts are replaced at once, restoring the valve's original performance and reliability.

If you're experiencing unresponsive controls or visible leaks from a control block, it's a strong indicator that these internal parts need attention. During a valve service, replacing the entire set is the recommended practice. This prevents a premature failure that could happen if you only replace a single leaking seal while leaving other worn parts in place.
