These valves limit pressure on a branch circuit to a lesser amount than required in a main circuit. For example, in a system, a branch-circuit…

Relief valves are the most common type of pressure-control valves. The relief valves’ function may vary, depending on a system’s needs. They can provide overload…
A pressure-control valve may limit or regulate pressure, create a particular pressure condition required for control, or cause actuators to operate in a specific order.…
Hydraulic power is an efficient method of delivering HP by pumping a fluid through a closed system. If the amount of flow or the pressure…
In this system, a pump can rest when the oil is not required to operate a function. This means that a control valve is closed…
In this system, a control-valve spool must be open in the center to allow pump flow to pass through the valve and return to the…
In the meter-out operation shown in Figure 6.39, the direction of the flow through the circuit is simply changed as can be made out from…
Meter-in is a method by which a flow control valve is placed in a hydraulic circuit in such a manner that there is a restriction…
Figure 6.35 illustrates the operation of a pressure-compensated valve. The design incorporates a hydrostat which maintains a constant 1.4kg/cm2 (20 psi) pressure differential across the…
This type of valve is used where the system pressures are relatively constant and the motoring speeds are not too critical. They work on the…
