PC08-30 Check, Pilot-to-Open (PC08-30)
A screw-in, cartridge-style, pilot-operated, hydraulic check valve for use in blocking or load-holding circuits.
Product Operation
The PC08-30 allows flow from 2 to 3, while normally blocking flow from 3 to 2. Flow will be allowed from 3 to 2 when sufficient pressure is applied at 1.
The cartridge has a 3:1 pilot ratio, meaning that at least one-third of the load pressure held at 3 is required at 1 to open the valve.
The check is spring-biased to assure holding in static or no-load conditions. A sealed pilot piston option is available.
Product Features
• Hardened seat for long life and low leakage.• Optional sealed piston.• Optional spring ranges.• Compact size.
