Flow Control Valve Product Guide
Brands We Repair:
What They Do:
The function of a Flow Control Valve is to reduce a
pump's flow rate in its leg of a hydraulic circuit.
Changing either the cylinder size or pump size to
regulate speed would be impractical, especially if
a speed change is desired in mid-stroke.
Primary Types and How They Work:
By controlling the rate of flow in a hydraulic circuit,
it's possible to control the speed of the hydraulic
cylinders or motors. A kitchen faucet is a good
example of a simple flow control.
