Description
Description
The Counterbalance Valve for the grapple cylinder typically consists of a housing, a spool valve, a spring, and a pilot valve. The spool valve is the moving part of the valve and is responsible for controlling the flow of fluid. The spring is used to bias the spool valve in a certain position, and the pilot valve is used to provide a signal to the spool valve. The primary function of this valve is to regulate the pressure of the hydraulic fluid within the grapple cylinder. This is achieved by controlling the flow of fluid through the valve. When the pressure of the fluid increases, the spool valve moves to a position that restricts the flow of fluid, thereby reducing the pressure to maintain it within a safe and predetermined range.
Attributes: • Maximum Flow: 227 L/min. • Pressure Setting: 41400 kPa. • Pilot Ratio: 5:1 • Maintains the fluid pressure within a safe and predetermined range. • Prevents damage to the grapple cylinder and associated machinery components due to excess pressure. • Ensures smooth and efficient operation of the grapple cylinder.
Applications: The Counterbalance Valve for the grapple cylinder of heavy machinery. It ensures the pressure remains within safe limits during the operation of the grapple cylinder, preventing potential damage and ensuring optimal performance during tasks involving grapple functions.
Warning:This product can expose you to chemicals including Lead and lead compounds, which is known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. For more information go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov.
