Features
 • Atmospherically vented counterbalance valves with pilot assist are meant to control an overrunning load
 • The check valve allows free flow from the directional valve (port 2) to the load (port 1) while a direct-acting, pilot-assisted relief valve controls flow from port 1 to port 2
 • Pilot assist at port 3 lowers the effective setting of the relief valve at a rate determined by the pilot ratio
 • Backpressure at port 2 does not affect the valve setting because the spring chamber is atmospherically referenced
 • Other names for this valve include motion control valve and over-center valve
 • Counterbalance valves should be set at least 1.3 times the maximum load induced pressure
 • Turn adjustment clockwise to decrease setting and release load
 • Full clockwise setting is 200 psi (14 bar)
 • Approximately 1 drop (0,07 cc) of fluid will pass from the pilot area to the vented spring chamber every 4000 cycles
 • Reseat exceeds 85% of set pressure when the valve is standard set
 • Settings lower than the standard set pressure may result in lower reseat percentages
 • Sun counterbalance cartridges can be installed directly into a cavity machined in an actuator housing for added protection and improved stiffness in the circuit
 • This valve has positive seals between all ports
 • With vented valves, a lower pilot ratio may be required to achieve machine stability compared to non-vented valves
 • Three-port vented valves are atmospherically referenced and considered problem solvers for existing circuits using non-vented valves
 • Over time, the vented valves may leak externally or allow moisture into the spring chamber
 • Four-port vented counterbalance valves are recommended for new applications
 • All 3-port counterbalance, load control, and pilot-to-open check cartridges are physically interchangeable (i.e. same flow path, same cavity for a given frame size)
 • Incorporates the Sun floating style construction to minimize the possibility of internal parts binding due to excessive installation torque and/or cavity/cartridge machining variations
