SINGLE COUNTERBALANCE VALVE FOR OPEN CENTER VBCL-SAE
OVERCENTER VALVE SIMPLE EFFECT NOT COMPENSATED FOR IN-LINE INSTALLATION
With the Oleoweb VBCL-SAE counterbalance valves it is possible to support a suspended load and control its movement by eliminating vibrations or too fast and dangerous lowering. Equipped with a valve body with UNF-SAE threaded ports, the VBCL-SAE overcenter valves are designed to be installed in-line within the hydraulic system in compliance with the spaces available on the machine
The single overcenter valves of the VBCL-SAE series are designed to ensure the stability in the working position of a hydraulic actuator with suspended load, and to control its movement in only one direction (usually the descent phase), leaving the opposite side powered by free flow; thanks to the UNF-SAE threaded ports, it can be installed in-line into the hydraulic system. By feeding the line opposite the load, the pilot line manages the partial opening of the descent channel allowing control of the actuator movement and avoiding the phenomenon of cavitation thanks to the action of contrasting the gravitational force. A calibrated hole dampens the pilot signal so that the valve opens and closes proportionally, avoiding load oscillations. The VBCL-SAE single overcenter valve also works as an antishock valve in the presence of pressure peaks caused by impacts or excessive loads.
