Motion control valves
Overcenter and motion-control valves provide static and dynamic load control by regulating flow into and out of hydraulic actuators. With pressure ratings up to 430 bar [6,200 psi] and flow ratings up to 300 l/min [80 US gal/min], these valves improve machine stability and efficiency while eliminating valve noise and protecting against runaway loads if a hose bursts.
Features and benefits
- These valves are capable of improving machine stability and efficiency while eliminating valve noise.
- They provide static and dynamic control of loads by regulating the flow into and out of hydraulic actuators.
- They can stop runaway loads in the event of a hose burst when installed close to an actuator.
- An extensive offering is available, including standard, part-balanced, fully balanced, counterbalanced, and zero-differential designs.
- Designs are available from -8 size to -20 size, enabling correct valve sizing for almost all applications.
- Low leakage designs prevent a load from dropping due to hose failure or directional valve leakage.
- An integrated relief valve offers protection against pressure shocks caused by external forces or overrunning loads.
- Multiple pilot ratios are available to optimize performance under various load conditions.
- Valve cartridges are made of hardened and ground steel for maximum durability and reliability.
