PBC-01102001 Rev. A Section: 1 Introduction The poppet block is the heart of most Shafer control systems. A double three-way, manual and pilot actuated, control valve is designed to provide selective directional operation of Shafer actuators. The poppet block control may direct power gas to a set of gas/hydraulic tanks (generating hydraulic pressure for powering valve actuators), or it may direct central hydraulic system pressure directly into a valve actuator.
