Single Overcenter Valve Safety Balance Valve for Crane with 40L/Min
A hydraulic single over-center valve, also known as an over-center or counterbalance valve, is a crucial component in hydraulic systems. It effectively controls the movement of actuators such as cylinders or motors, especially in situations that require precise load control or load retention.
In simple terms, a single hydraulic over centre valve is essential for providing carefully controlled movement and secure load holding within hydraulic systems. This ensures safety, stability, and maximum efficiency across a wide range of industrial and mobile equipment applications.
The primary function of a single overcentre valve is to provide dynamic load control influenced by gravitational or inertial forces. These valves ensure that actuators, such as cylinders, operate smoothly and safely in both directions, preventing unintended drifting or runaway movements under load.
Here's a typical operational overview:
Controlled Movement | As the actuator (such as a cylinder) extends or retracts, the over-center valve allows fluid to flow in the direction of movement, providing unrestricted flow for fast operation. |
Load Holding | When the actuator reaches the desired position, the valve moves to a closed or throttled position. This restricts the flow of hydraulic fluid from the actuator's rod end, creating a counterbalance to external forces (such as gravity or a load pushing down). This prevents the actuator from moving unintentionally and maintains the position even when the hydraulic system is not actively supplying pressure. |
Safety and Stability | By preventing the actuator from running away under load, the over-center valve increases safety and stability in various hydraulic applications such as lifting, lowering, and holding. |
