General Description

General: Features:
Counterbalance valve are used in hydraulic systems to control • Pilot operated check valve, leak-free function
the speed of hydraulic motors and cylinders independent of the
load (prevents running away). In addition there is a isolater func- • The counterbalance valve controls the returning flow q v2 in
tion for pipe burst safety. Counterbalance valve comprises basi- relation to the flow being directed into the other side of the
cally of the housing (1), main poppet (2), pilot part (3), pilot spool actuator q v1. With cylinders the area ratio (q v2=q v1) has to
(4), damping spool (5) and pilot damping (6). be taken into account

Specs: • By-pass valve, free flow in opposite direction

Pressure rating 315 bar • Optional built-on secondary pressure relief valve (only for
Flow up to 560 LPM flange mounted valve)

Circuit Examples

Note:
Two counterbalance cannot be used to control two cylinders
which are forced mechanically to move together, as synchro-
nization and the same pressure cannot be guaranteed in each
cylinder.
X X
Therefore, the cylinders have to be equipped with two pilot Y
operated check valves. The counterbalance valve is fitted in a B
common line.
X
In this case, the load pressure must not exceed 200 bar! A
