General Description
Threaded Cartridge Style Counterbalance Valve. 3
Port, Independent of Back Pressure, Vented to Atmo-
sphere. Pilot assisted, designed for motion control
applications. For additional information see Technical
Tips on pages LM1-LM4.
Features
Spring chamber isolated from system back pressure by
double seal, eliminating vent port leakage and need for
separate drain line
Poppet construction for minimal leakage
Incorporates direct acting relief valve for overload
protection
Includes reverse check valve within body, saving space
and minimizing installation cost
Fully sealed pilot for high efficiency and accurate pilot
ratio
Three pilot ratios available, 1:1, 3:1 and 5:1
Adjustable and tamper resistant versions available
All external parts zinc plated
