Some explanation of the electrical circuit required for a servo valve is presented here to help readers understand how the servo valve in the servo…
Flow control valves are used in constant-flow (fixed displacement pump) circuits to control actuator speed. The simplest type of flow control valve is a needle…
Servo valves are a close relative of the proportional valve and are based on an electrical torque motor which produces a small deflection proportional to…
Load sensing is achieved with a special compensator mounted on a variable displacement pressure-compensated pump. The reader should envision this special compensator mounted on the…
The closed-center circuit shown in Fig. 4.18 has a variable displacement pump like that shown in Fig. 4.15. The compensator valve spring is a 2500…
The fixed displacement pump shown in Fig. 4.3 delivers 20 GPM continuously. The relief valve is set on 2500 psi. When the DCV is manually…
Load sensing was developed to improve the efficiency of a circuit. It requires a variable displacement pump; thus, it is appropriate to discuss it here.…
1. A backhoe operator controls the speed of the cylinder, which extends the bucket by cracking open the DCV controlling flow of the cylinder. Describe…
A brake valve performs the same function as a counterbalance valve, but it is designed to overcome a key disadvantage. An example will illustrate this…
