Product Detail
Function and configuration
The valve type Z2FRM10 is a 2-way flow control valve of sandwich plate design and type 2FRM10K is a 2-way flow control cartridge valve. The former is used for maintaining a constant flow and is independent of the pressure and temperature.
The valve basically consists of a housing (1) and one or two flow control cartridges type 2FRM10K (9).
The throttling of the flow from port A1/B1 (A) to port A2/B2 (B) occurs at the throttle area (3). The throttle bolt (4) is driven by the adjustment element (2). To maintain a constant flow in port A2/B2(B) which is independent of pressure, a pressure compensator (5) is fitted downstream of the throttle area (3).
The pressure compensator (5) is pressed against the plug (8), via a compression spring (7). When there is no oil flow, pressure compensator (5) keeps in open position. If there is flow through the valve then the pressure in port A1/B1 (A) acts on the pressure compensator (5). Then the pressure compensator (5) moves until the forces are balanced. If the pressure in port A1/B1 (A) increases, then the pressure compensator (5) moves in the closing direction until the forces are balanced again. Due to the continuous compensation by the pressure compensator, a constant flow is achieved.
Free flow from port A2/B2 (B) to port A1/B1 (A) is via check valve (6).
