Quick Reference Cartridge Valves Technical Information Counterbalance valves Application notes MOTION CONTROL VALVES Motion control valves, also referred to as load holding valves, are used to control the motion of a load in the following ways: · Prevent a load from dropping in case of hose or tube failure. Prevent a load from drifting caused by directional control valve spool leakage. Provide smooth, modulated motion when the load is in a lowering or run-away mode. Provide smooth, modulated motion when the directional control valve is suddenly closed. There are two basic types of motion control...

Quick Reference Cartridge Valves Technical Information Counterbalance valves Application notes COUNTERBALANCE VALVES (continued) Counterbalance valves will positively hold a pressurized load and will control the motion of the load based on application of a pressure signal to the pilot port. Counterbalance valves are available as individual cartridges or standard cartridge-in-body (CIB) packages. A typical circuit application for a counterbalance valve contains a pump, directional control valve, and an actuator. Without a counterbalance valve the load will drift down due to spool leakage if the...

Quick Reference Cartridge Valves Technical Information Counterbalance valves Application notes The pressure required to pilot open the counterbalance valve can be calculated as follows: P = (Ps • Ab) - W (load retracts cylinder) (Ab • R) + Ar P = (Ps • Ar) - W (load extends cylinder) (Ar • R) + Ab W = Load Ps = Counterbalance valve relief setting; see below for more information Ab = Cylinder bore area Ar = Cylinder rod area R = Counterbalance valve pilot ratio; see below for more information Note that these equations are idealized and do not consider any backpressure in the circuit, which is...
