When traveling in a straight line
Function

To compensate for any difference in the oil flow in the left and right travel circuits when traveling in a straight line, the junction circuit opens when the left and right travel spools are operated.

In this way, the flow of oil to the left and right travel motors is almost the same when traveling in a straight line, so there is no travel deviation.

When steering the machine, the difference in the load pressure returns the reducing valve of the travel valve on the inside of the turn, so the junction circuit is closed and the machine can be steered.

Operation
When left and right travel spools (1) are operated, the pump discharge flows from pump circuit PP and circuit PA to actuator circuit A.

When traveling in a straight line, to make actuator circuit PA equal, left and right reducing valves (2) are pushed to the right (o) by the same amount, and notch a and the travel junction circuit are opened.

In this way, the left and right travel actuator circuits are interconnected by the travel junction circuit, so if any difference occurs in the flow of oil to the left and right travel motors, the difference is compensated to prevent any deviation in travel.
