Control of a Hydraulic Motor using a 4/2-DC Valve

The hydraulic circuit demonstrates the operation of a bi-directional hydraulic motor using a 4/2-directional control valve. In the normal position of the directional control (DC) valve, the motor rotates in one direction (for example, anticlockwise). In the actuated position of the directional control valve, the motor rotates in the opposite direction (clockwise).

When the pump is switched ON, the hydraulic motor cannot be stopped.
