Load holding valve from Sun Hydraulics.
Counterbalance valves with pilot assist are meant to control an overrunning load. The check valve allows free flow from the directional valve (port 2) to the load (port 1) while a direct-acting, pilot-assisted relief valve controls flow from port 1 to port 2. Pilot assist at port 3 lowers the effective setting of the relief valve at a rate determined by the pilot ratio. The LoadAdaptive™ counterbalance valve has a higher pilot ratio when the load-induced pressure is less than the setting of the valve (is not moving yet) and when the moving load is a positive load (not overrunning). See P1-P3 diagrams under “Performance Curves.” The P1 (Y axis) vs P3 (X axis) curves show the effective setting P1 of the valve for different flows depending on pilot pressure P3.
