EC12-32

FLOW ON DEMAND PRESSURE COMPENSATING ELEMENT WITH STATIC LOAD SENSE

Overview

Description

EC12-32 is a screw-in, cartridge style, load sense, flow on demand, pressure compensator valve.

Operation

With inlet flow at port 2, the EC12-32 will deliver required flow at port 3 regardless of load pressure sensed at port 1.

note: 0.53 mm 0.021inorifice is recommended to be installed in load sense line at port 1 for better stability.

Features

  • Choice of compensator springs
  • Hardened parts for long life.
  • Quiet, modulated response.
  • Industry-common cavity.
