VCB 06-EN
Overcenter Valve, Standard, Differential Area, Internal Drain, Port 1 Pilot
350 bar [5000 psi] • 60 l/min [16 US gpm]
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
This is a differential area overcenter valve, which is a pilot assisted relief with a free flow check. With the relief valve set at around 1.3 times the
maximum load induced pressure, the valve will prevent flow from taking place between ports 3 and 2. When pilot pressure is applied to port 1, the
valve will meter the flow from port 3 to 2 compensating for any change in pilot pressure due to over-running or unstable loads. Free flow takes place
from port 2 to port 3 through the check portion of the valve. These valves are ideal in most applications bringing stability, load holding, and hose
failure protection when the valve is mounted onto or into the actuator. The spring chamber is connected to the valve port 2, so any back pressure
will increase the pilot pressure required to keep the valve open and the pressure at which the valve will open as a relief valve.
