EC12-30 Pressure Compensator (EC12-30)
A screw-in, cartridge-style pressure-compensating element, intended for use with a remote fixed or variable orifice to yield a two-port-type, pressure-compensated, flow- regulating hydraulic valve.
Product Operation
The EC12-30 maintains a constant flow rate from ➁ regardless of load pressure changes in the circuit downstream of ➁The cartridge maintains a constant differential pressure from circuit point P to port ➀ (see USASI Symbol), thereby regulating the hydraulic flow rate between the two points in the circuit.
Product Features
• Hardened parts for long life.
• Quiet, modulated response.
• Industry common cavity.
