The counterbalance valve, also known as a load-holding valve, is a component in hydraulic systems. Its primary function is to control the movement of loads in hydraulic cylinders to prevent them from falling or running away due to gravity during sudden pressure drops in the cylinder. Counterbalance valves are commonly used in applications where heavy loads need to be controlled safely and precisely. Counterbalance valves maintain a set pressure on the rod side of a hydraulic cylinder to prevent the load from descending uncontrollably. It also prevents reverse flow from the cap side of the cylinder to the rod side, ensuring that the load doesn't drop unexpectedly when pressure on the cap side exceeds the pressure on the rod side.
Attributes:
• Maximum Pressure: 35000kPa
• Seal Material: Buna
• Prevent uncontrolled descent of loads, maintaining position and control
• Enhance safety by preventing uncontrolled movements of heavy loads
• Improve energy efficiency and reduce wasted energy
Application:
This Counter Balance Valve is used in hydraulic systems for load-holding and over-center control to prevent uncontrolled descent of heavy loads, ensuring safety and energy efficiency.
