Pressure compensated flow control valves are installed
in hydraulic systems where only small speed or
revolution variation due to load changing are required.
The valve consists of throttling orifice (1), pressure
compensator (2), bushing (3), adjustment screw (4) and
spring (5).
Throttling in direction 1 ® 2 is realised on the throttling
orifice. The flow rate depends on the orifice diameter
and on the pressure difference at the orifice. The
pressure difference can be adjusted in a certain range
through preloading the spring (5), which results in the
respective flow change. The allocation of the orifice
diameters and the corresponding flow rates is apparent
from the characteristics. The flow rate adjustment can
be accomplished by adjustment screw (4). The
clockwise rotation increases the flow rate, the
anticlockwise rotation decreases the flow rate.
The flow rate stabilization is provided by pressure
compensator (2), which is situated behind the throttling
orifice and mounted into bushing (3). The pressure
compensator continuously compares the pressure
difference at the throttling orifice (1) with the value given
by the spring preload.
In flow direction 2 ® 1, the valve works as an ordinary
throttle valve withouth pressure compensation feature.
The pressure losses depend on the orifice diameter –
see the respective characteristics.
The valve housing (7), the nut (6) and the adjustment
screw (4) are zinc coated.
