Pressure Compensator
CP300-4
OPERATION
The CP300-4 is a 10-size, ow control, restrictive type pressure compensator. Restrictive-type pressure
compensators are three-ported valves that work in series with a xed or variable control orice. The
pressure compensator is located downstream of the orice and is spring-biased to an open position
as shown in the example circuit. The spool “senses” the pressure on either side of the control orice
and will vary it’s restriction in order to maintain a constant pressure dierential across the control
orice, hence maintaining a constant ow rate.
APPLICATION
Common applications include any circuit that requires compensated ow control going to one actuator
or circuit. Pressure compensators oer the circuit designer capability to add pressure compensation
to any xed or variable orice. This ensures that ow, and resulting actuator speed, are maintained
regardless of system and working pressures
