2 way pressure compensator for meter-in application
The 2 way pressure compensators in meter-in application
will maintain a constant pressure difference across the
metering edge of the proportional direction valve. In this
case, the pressure variations due to loading changes, as
well as pump pressure changes are compensated so any
increase in pump pressure does not affect the flow. The
meter-in compensators may only be used with positive
load direction.
Valves TV2-042/M are directly operated 2 way pressure
compensators in sandwich plate design. They are
designated for load compensation in channel P.
The main parts of these valves are the housing (1), control
spool (2), spring (3) and shuttle valve (4). The spring (3)
holds the spool in the open position from P2 to P1,
provided that the pressure difference between P1 and A
(P1 - B) is less than 10 bar. When the pressure difference
exceeds the value of 10 bar, the spool shifts against the
spring until the desired pressure difference has been
restored.
The pressure signal comes through passage (5) from
channel P.
The valve body is phosphated, all other parts are zinc
coated.
2 way pressure compensator for meter-out appli-
cation
In systems with changing load directions, the use of
meter-out pressure compensators is required. With
respect to the application a valve with pressure
compensator installed in one, or in both actuator ports
are available.
The pressure compensator is always mounted between
the actuator and the proportional directional valve. The
valve will maintain the pressure difference between A and
T or B and T constant. The flow rate and the flow direction
are adjusted by the proportional directional valve. To
enable the reverse flow, two by-pass check valves are
incorporated into the valve body.
The valve consists of the valve body (1), one or two
control spools (2) and poppets of the by-pass check
valves (3). If the pump, for example, is connected to port
A, the fluid passes to the actuator through a check valve
and returns from the actuator through channel B to the
proportional directional valve. The pressure difference
across the metering edge of the directional valve is
maintained at a constant level. This ensures a constant
flow rate independent to the load. The pressure
difference is controlled by the metering edge (4), its value
being determined by spring force (5).

The characteristic of the pressure compensator corresponds to the flow rate of a PRM2-043Z11/12 proportional directional
valve. By increasing the flow resistance due to a flow rate increase, also the outside pressure difference has to be
increased, in order to ensure the correct control function.
