The CP300-4 is a 10-size, ow control, restrictive type pressure compensator. Restrictive-type pressure

compensators are three-ported valves that work in series with a xed or variable control orice. The

pressure compensator is located downstream of the orice and is spring-biased to an open position

as shown in the example circuit. The spool “senses” the pressure on either side of the control orice

and will vary it’s restriction in order to maintain a constant pressure dierential across the control

Pressure Compensator

Common applications include any circuit that requires compensated ow control going to one actuator

or circuit. Pressure compensators oer the circuit designer capability to add pressure compensation

to any xed or variable orice. This ensures that ow, and resulting actuator speed, are maintained

regardless of system and working pressures
