Proportional flow control valve
A typical application of a seat tight proportional flow control valve is the lowering and holding of loads such as those used in a forklift truck.
The pressure compensator integrated in the valve compensates for any load changes, while the volume flow and thus the traverse speed of the hydraulic cylinder can be controlled very precisely and sensitively via the solenoid current. In the deenergised state, the valve closes tightly and thus the load can be held securely in a desired position.
