Solenoid Valve 52380 / 52380GT (3-Position, 4-Way Directional Control) – Optimized Product Page Content

🔹 Product Overview
The Solenoid Valve with part numbers 52380 and 52380GT is a sophisticated, electro-hydraulic component used in the manifold blocks of various Genie Aerial Work Platforms (AWP). This high-function valve is configured as a 3-Position, 4-Way (3P4W) directional control valve. This means it controls the flow of hydraulic fluid between four ports (typically pressure, tank, and two function lines) and has three distinct operational states (often Center-Off/Neutral, Position A, and Position B). This complexity allows for the precise, controlled movement of a double-acting cylinder or motor, often used for critical main boom functions.
This valve is essential for circuits that require a precise neutral position (such as holding a cylinder in place) and bi-directional movement. The part number 52380GT is the necessary replacement for addressing issues such as a failure of the function to move in one or both directions, the inability to hold position (drift), or erratic movement due to spool contamination or coil failure.
🔹 Key Features & Benefits
✅ 3P4W Functionality: Provides precise control over a double-acting cylinder/motor with a defined center/neutral holding position.
✅ Electro-Hydraulic Control: Electrically actuated to control a critical, bi-directional hydraulic flow path.
✅ High Control Fidelity: Essential for main lift, telescope, or slew functions that require three distinct operating modes.
✅ Direct OEM Cross-Reference: High-quality aftermarket equivalent for Genie part numbers 52380GT and 52380.
