Counterbalance Valves Technical Information
154 SUS (33 cSt) hyd. oil @ 100° F (38° C)
Dual Counterbalance - Hydraulic Vent
CP448-2
OPERATION
This dual valve, internally piloted HIC is a low leakage
counterbalance assembly with hydraulic vent. The CP448-2 uses
two CP448-1 8-size cartridges and allows free ow from the V ports
to the C ports and blocks ow in the reverse direction until the relief
setting is reached, or until adequate pilot pressure has been applied
to the opposite V port.
APPLICATIONS
Dual counterbalance HIC’s are used for controlling loads in bidirectional
motion such as wheel motor applications or for cylinders going over
center. They are also suitable for use on the boom and dipper cylinder on
an excavator.
