<h1 style="text-align: center;">Counter Balance Valves</h1><br><div style="text-align: center;"><strong>Counterbalance Valve Setup &mdash; Standard</strong></div><div style="text-align: center;"><strong>Relief setting:</strong> Set the valve high enough to stop motion at the maximum expected actuator pressure. As a rule of thumb, use 1.3 &times; maximum load pressure (e.g., 180 bar load &rarr; set &asymp; 234 bar).</div><div style="text-align: center;"><strong>Pilot ratio (varying loads):&nbsp;</strong>Use low ratios (3:1 or 4.25:1) when loads vary widely</div><div style="text-align: center;"><strong>Pros:</strong> stable, precise control. Cons: higher pilot pressure, lower efficiency</div><div style="text-align: center;"><strong>Pilot ratio (constant loads):</strong> Use high ratios (8:1 or 10:1) when loads are relatively constant</div><div style="text-align: center;"><strong>Pros:</strong> lower pilot pressure, faster response, higher efficiency. Cons: less stability/precision with changing loads</div><div style="text-align: center;"><strong>Sizing:</strong> Do not oversize. Counterbalance valves need some pressure drop to operate correctly; there&rsquo;s no &ldquo;too much drop&rdquo; operating limit for these valves</div><div style="text-align: center;"><strong>Placement:</strong> Install the valve at or near the actuator to maximize load-holding protection if a hydraulic line fails</div><div style="text-align: center;"><strong>Circuit compatibility:</strong> Do not use counterbalance valves with closed-center directional control valves; trapped pressure between the DCV and actuator can pilot the valve open and cause unintended load motion</div>

<h1 style="text-align: center;">Sequence Valve</h1><null><br></null><div style="text-align: center;">Application:</div><div style="text-align: center;">The valve can be used to control the operation of two hydraulic cylinders fed from a single source, e.g. one section in a manifold. The valve helps to determine the working order of these cylinders regardless of their size and load. The second actuator starts to extend only after the first one is fully extended or if the first one encounters resistance during extension, which will cause the set pressure to be increased and exceeded.</div><br><div style="text-align: center;">Operating principle:</div><div style="text-align: center;">The valve controls the direction of the oil flow between two independent hydraulic lines. The valve directs the flow to line one until the set pressure is exceeded. Once the pressure is exceeded, the valve switches the flow to line two.</div><div data-empty="true" style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;">Technical data:</div><div style="text-align: center;">Maximum flow rate: 35 l/min</div><div style="text-align: center;">Number of hydraulic holes in the body: 2</div><div style="text-align: center;">External threads in the body: BSPP</div><div style="text-align: center;">Body material: galvanised steel</div><div style="text-align: center;">Weight: 1.2 kg</div><br><div style="text-align: center;">Pressure range:</div><div style="text-align: center;">Valve pressure adjustment range: 10-180bar</div><div style="text-align: center;">Factory valve setting: 90bar</div><div style="text-align: center;">Valve adjustment: 30bar per full turn</div>
