PFRD/S-20 - Priority Flow Control
Spool type, load-sensing
230 L/min (60 USgpm) • 240 bar (3500 psi)
Operation
This valve is used in the flow
control mode. Pump flow
from the valve inlet port 3
is delivered first to port 4
at a fixed rate; excess flow
is bypassed to port 2. The
valve maintains the controlled
flow to 4 regardless of inlet
pressure change or load
pressure changes at 2 or 4.
This valve is typically used
with open loop load sense
systems in steering and
braking circuits. The static
type is used for less difficult
applications where response
or circuit stability is not a
problem. The dynamic type is
used for difficult applications
where response or circuit

stability are critical. The load
sense line connected to
port 5 should not exceed 2
Meters (6 Feet) in length.
Overpressure protection for
the circuits connected to ports
2 and 4 must be provided
by external relief valves. The
control pressure is determined
by assuring adequate inlet
pressure to the steering unit
and must be matched to the
steering unit’s required flow.
The control pressure must
be supplied to the valve as a
minimum inlet pressure. The
pressure at port 4 can vary
by 10% when the load at the
excess flow port 2 varies from
0 to maximum pressure.
Features
Hardened and ground working
parts to limit leakage and
extend service life. Robust
design with a 280 bar max
pressure rating.

Description
This is a load sense priority
flow regulator designed to
provide a controlled pressure
compensated flow on
demand. The valve is ideal
for steering or accumulator
charging circuits.
