This paper focuses on the contaminated friction of fit clearance between the spool and valve body to explore the influence principles of clamping stagnation phenomenon. From the perspective of surface morphology and size of particulates in the clearance, designing and manufacturing the valve body, rough spool, conical spool, and standard morphology spool, the test bench was built up and the curves of real-time contaminated friction in the movement of spools were obtained through experiments. The curves show that the contaminated frictions have a feature of pulsation; meanwhile, the stagnation-sensitive size of particulates is between 0.7 and 0.9 times that of clearance. Compared to the ideal morphology spool within the range of sensitive size, the contaminated fiction of rough spool is increased, whereas the lower limit of stagnation-sensitive size range of particulates on conical spool is decreased. The contaminated friction is gradually increased on cis-conical spool but increased first and then decreased on invert cone spool.
