Description
The 1CEL overcenter valve performs all duties of a regular overcenter but maintains a counterbalance pressure to provide dampening of cylinders when there is a rapid loss in stored pressure. This counterbalance pressure reduces as the pilot pressure increases. Typical applications include extension cylinders on telescopic handlers where it is important to have a smooth operation when retracting from full extension.
Operation
The check section allows free flow and then locks the load against movement. The pilot assisted relief valve section will give controlled movement when pilot pressure is applied, maintaining a counterbalance pressure to prevent initial pressure loss and therefore instability. The total pressure setting will normally be set at 1.3 times the load induced pressure. The counterbalance pressure reduces as the pilot pressure increases.
Features
Cartridge is economical and fits simple cavity. Allows quick, easy field service - reduces down time. Interchangeable with pilot check valve of a similar size.
