EC12-34

PRESSURE COMPENSATING ELEMENT WITH LOAD SENSE U.S. PATENT 7,261,030

Overview

Description

EC12-34 is a screw-in, cartridge style, load sense, pressure compensator with built-in damping and load holding features.

Operation

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

Features

  • Hardened parts for long life.
  • Hardened seat for low-leakage load-holding capability.
  • Quiet, modulated response.
  • Industry-common cavity.
