H1B counterbalance valve systems

A counterbalance valve (CBV) helps secure open-circuit applications when their motors are in a downhill or pulling-force mode. If system pressure is lost, the CBV retards spinning motion and makes losing control of the load less likely.

Features and benefits 

  • Designed as bi-directional spool valve 
  • Intended for use as safety valve for applications such as traction motors or winch motors 
  • Protects motor from exceeding overspeed or cavitation in the inlet side when driving downhill or when loads are dragging. 

Applications 

  • Wheeled or tracked vehicles (e.g., excavators) 
  • Rotating heads and cutter circuits (e.g., mulchers)  
  • Working devices (e.g., lifting of drill heads on vertical drilling equipment)
  • Winches and cranes  
  • Other working functions with rotors using hydrostatic variable or fixed motors  

Specifications  

  • Rated operating pressure: 350 bar [5,075 psi] 
  • Maximum working pressure bar 420 bar [6,090 psi] 
  • Nominal flow: 400 l/min [105.6 US gal/min] 
  • Maximum flow: 600 l/min [158.4 US gal/min]
