Overcenter Valve vs Counterbalance Valve: Which is Right for Your Application?
In hydraulic systems, it is important to understand the difference between an overcenter valve and a counterbalance valve. Although the two are similar in some functions, for example, both can be used to prevent the load from free falling, there are some differences in t...Read more -
Introduction to Counterbalance Valve
The function of the oil control counterbalance valve, also known as the load holding valve, is to use hydraulic pressure to keep the load stable and prevent the load from falling out of control when the oil pressure of the actuating element fails. This type of valve is u...Read more -
Pilot-Operated Check Valves: A Reliable Solution for a Variety of Applications
Pilot-operated check valves are a type of check valve that uses a pilot valve to control the flow of fluid. The pilot valve is typically located downstream of the check valve and is connected to the upstream side of the check valve by a pilot line. Advantages of P...Read more -
