1CEB120 - Overcenter Valve
Fully balanced, pilot assisted relief with check
120 L/min (32 USgpm). 270 bar (4000 psi)
Description
Overcenter valves give static
and dynamic control of loads
by supplying a counterbalance
pressure to the actuator. They
prevent runaway in the event
of hose burst and hold the
load with minimal leakage.
The pressure balanced valve is
unaffected by back pressure,
allowing service line reliefs
to operate and for the valve
to be used in regenerative or
proportional valve systems.
The overcenter valve should
be mounted either into, onto
or as close to the actuator as
possible to give maximum
protection.
Single overcenter valves
control unidirectional loads
such as in aerial platforms,
cranes or winches and dual
overcenters are suited to
bi-directional motion such as
wheel motor applications or
cylinders going over center.
Operation
The check section allows
free flow into the actuator
then holds and locks the load
against movement. The pilot
assisted relief valve section
will give controlled movement
when pilot pressure is applied.
The relief section is normally
set to open at a pressure at
least 1.3 times the maximum
load induced pressure but the
pressure required to open the
valve and allow movement
depends on the pilot ratio of
the valve. For optimization
of load control and energy
usage, a choice of pilot ratios
is available.
The pressure required to open
the valve and start actuator
movement can be calculated
as follows:
Pilot Pressure =
(Relief Setting) - (Load Pressure)
Pilot Ratio
Features
Cartridge is economical and
fits simple cavity. Allows quick,
easy field service - reduces
down time. Interchangeable
with pilot check valve of a
similar size.
Pilot Ratio
3:1 (standard) Best suited for
applications where load varies
and machine structure can
induce instability.
8:1 Best suited for applications
where the load remains
relatively constant.
