Counterbalance valves Load Reactive

Counterbalance valves LoadReactive are an advanced group of valves designed by Sun Hydraulics to handle more demanding applications where both stability and motion control are critical. They combine the best of both worlds—featuring sealing properties similar to seat valves for reliable load holding, while also allowing for gradual movement regulation, similar to proportional valves, where flow or pressure is smoothly adjusted in proportion to a control signal. This unique combination results in improved load control, making LoadReactive an effective solution in systems where conventional CB**- and CW**-valves may become unstable, even when correctly sized. Additionally, LoadReactive valves are an excellent choice for applications experiencing instability and flow variations, as they contribute to a smoother and more controlled operation.

For stability and motion control

Sun Hydraulics’ series of LoadReactive counterbalance valves are specifically designed to suit applications with varying flow rates, such as both creep movement and rapid motion, as well as systems that require both stability and precise motion control simultaneously.

Features

LoadReactive counterbalance valves are designed with the same cavity as CB**, CA**, and CW** counterbalance valves, ensuring easy interchangeability and compatibility without requiring additional modifications. These valves exhibit exceptionally low leakage, providing stable and efficient load holding even under demanding operating conditions. They are available as adjustable models, allowing fine-tuned control, as well as fixed setting versions for quick and hassle-free installation.
