HBS Counterbalance Valves
HBS Counterbalance Valves are used with cylinders to safely hold suspended loads and deal with over-running loads. Counterbalance valves can also be used with hydraulic motors and is then commonly called a brake valve.
HBS Counterbalance Valves are fairly similar to pilot-operated check valves. They can both be used to lock fluid in a cylinder in order to prevent drifting. However, a pilot-operated check valve is not able to control an over-running load. Whenever uncontrolled movement can occur from an overrunning load, a HBS Counterbalance Valve should be used.
Load-holding valves such as counterbalance valves offer advantages for systems that use them, making them a rather popular component of hydraulic systems in various sectors. Their main advantages is safety through load control. By automatically regulating the descent of loads and holding equipment steady while lifted, HBS Counterbalance Valves are meant to protect workers in the area.
