Description
Motion control and lock valves give static and dynamic control by regulating the flow into and out of hydraulic actuators. When installed close to an actuator, the valve can stop runaway in the event of hose burst. The valves also give dual thermal and overload relief protection. A low pressure tank or charge line may be connected to the T port to provide a make-up flow to either actuator port.
Operation
The check section allows free flow into the actuator then holds and locks the load against movement. The pilot assisted relief valve section will give controlled movement when pilot pressure is applied. The relief section is normally set to open at a pressure at least 1.3 times the maximum load induced pressure but the pressure required to open the valve and allow movement depends on the pilot ratio of the valve. For optimization of load control and energy usage, a choice of pilot ratios is available.
Features
These valves provide complete circuit control and protection in a single valve body, reducing installation time and cost. Smooth, safe performance of dual direction actuators.
