Load holding valve from Sun Hydraulics.

Description

Vented, load reactive load control valves with pilot assist combine two valves; a check valve and a relief valve. 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. Backpressure at port 2 does not affect the valve setting because the spring chamber references the vent (port 4).

  • Set at least 1.3 times the maximum load induced pressure (1.5 times when the setting is less than 2000 psi or 140 bar).
  • The maximum recommended load pressure for the H range is 3080 psi (212 bar).
  • The maximum recommended load pressure for the J range is 3850 psi (265 bar).
  • Turn adjustment clockwise to decrease setting and release load.
  • Full clockwise setting is 1000 psi (70 bar) for the H range and 2000 psi (140 bar) for the J range.
  • These valves are capable of modulating over a broader range of flows than the pure poppet designs. The longer stroke allows us to incorporate a uni-directional damping device that smooths the opening and lets the valve close quickly.
  • This valve is functionally a 4-port counterbalance valve. It seats as a poppet valve and modulates as a spool valve, offering the best of both valve types.
  • All 4-port counterbalance, load control, and pilot-to-open check cartridges are physically interchangeable (i.e. same flow path, same cavity for a given frame size).
  • Corrosion resistant cartridge valves are intended for use in corrosive environments and are identified by the model code suffix /AP for external stainless steel components, or /LH for external zinc-nickel plated components. See the CONFIGURATION section for all options. For further details, please see the Materials of Construction page located under TECH RESOURCES.
  • Sun load control and counterbalance cartridges can be installed directly into a cavity machined in an actuator housing for added protection and improved stiffness in the circuit.
  • This valve has positive seals between all ports.
  • This valve has full relief capacity.
  • Incorporates the Sun floating style construction to minimize the possibility of internal parts binding due to excessive installation torque and/or cavity/cartridge machining variations.
