FLOW CONTROLS
HEC12-43 Pressure Compensator, Dynamic Load-Sense
DESCRIPTION
A screw-in, cartridge-style, priority-on-demand, pressure compensator with dynamic
load sense intended to provide priority flow in the required amount, while allowing
excess flow to be used for auxiliary functions.
OPERATION
With inlet flow at port 3, the HEC12-43 will deliver required priority flow at port 4,
regardless of load pressure. Excess flow exits, or is bypassed, at port 2. Port 1 is the
load sense port. All ports may be fully pressurized.
FEATURES
• Hardened parts for long life.
• Quiet, modulated response.
