Which outcome occurs when a pneumatic directional valve experiences pilot pressure loss?

💡 Explanation

Pilot pressure loss causes the valve spool to shift to its default position due to spring force overcoming reduced pilot pressure; this is spring return mechanism, therefore the valve defaults, rather than increased torque or flow, because those rely on pressure.
