M = single-turn adjustment knob
(omit for three-turn adjustment)
6 - REVERSE FREE FLOW
The RPC1 valve, upon request, is supplied with an incorporated
check valve to allow free flow in the direction opposite to the
controlled flow, B→A.
In this case the valve code becomes RPC1-*/CT.
7 - RPC1-*/CTX
This valve is normally used for intake control and is positioned
downstream of the directional valve.
The piloting connection “P” keeps the compensator in the closed
position, thus avoiding the initial speed jump that occurs at the time
the distributor sends oil to the valve (see the application diagram,
paragraph 11).
Controlled flow
0,5 = 0,5 l/min
1 = 1 l/min 16 = 16 l/min
4 = 4 l/min 22 = 22 l/min
10 = 10 l/min 30 = 30 l/min
C = incorporated check valve

the check valve version

3 - HYDRAULIC FLUIDS
Use mineral oil-based hydraulic fluids HL or HM type, according to
ISO 6743-4. For these fluids, use NBR seals. For fluids HFDR type
(phosphate esters) use FPM seals (code V). For the use of other
kinds of fluid such as HFA, HFB, HFC, please consult our technical
department. Using fluids at temperatures higher than 80 °C causes
a faster degradation of the fluid and of the seals characteristics.
The fluid must be preserved in its physical and chemical
characteristics.
4 - PRESSURE COMPENSATION
Two throttles in series are in the valve. The first is an opening
regulated by the knob; the second, piloted by the pressure
upstream and downstream of the first throttle, assures a constant
pressure drop across the adjustable throttle. In these conditions, the
set flow rate value stays constant within a tolerance range of ± 2%
of the maximum flow controlled by the valve for maximum pressure
variation between the intake and outlet chambers of the valve.
5 - TEMPERATURE COMPENSATION
The valve temperature compensation is obtained with the principle
of fluid passage across a thin wall orifice in which the flow rate is
not substantially influenced by the oil viscosity fluctuations. For
controlled flows of less than 0,5 l/min and with a temperature
difference of 50 °C, flow is increased by about 13% of the set flow
value. For higher flow rates, and with the same temperature
difference, the flow increase is about 4% of the maximum flow
controlled by the valve.
