Proportional Directional Control Valve 229410GT / 229410 (5-Way, 3-Position) – Optimized Product Page Content

🔹 Product Overview
The Proportional Directional Control Valve with Genie part numbers 229410GT and 229410 is a highly complex, premium electro-hydraulic component used in the advanced control systems of high-specification Genie Aerial Work Platforms (AWP). This valve features a rare and highly versatile 5-Way, 3-Position (5/3-Way) configuration. This design provides sophisticated control over a function by offering three distinct spool positions (e.g., extend, hold/float, retract) and controlling five hydraulic ports, allowing for the precise management of multiple flow lines simultaneously. Crucially, it is proportional, meaning it controls not just the direction, but also the speed (flow rate) in direct response to a variable electrical signal (e.g., high-precision joystick input).
This high-fidelity valve is essential for achieving exceptionally smooth, precise, and variable-speed movement in critical, primary functions that require intricate flow management. The part number 229410GT is the necessary replacement for addressing severe control issues such as loss of fine speed modulation, inability to achieve specific flow configurations, erratic movement, or a complete failure of the associated function.
🔹 Key Features & Benefits
✅ Advanced Proportional Control: Enables smooth, variable speed/force control, directly proportional to the electrical input.
