Pressure Compensator

spool valve, direct-acting

normally closed
Metric Cartridge – 350 bar
up to 120 l/min
DWM12121Z B / H
up to 350 bar

FUNCTION FEATURES
zz The valve function in version B/H can be locked by switching the pressure supply from
DWM12121Z DWM12121Z H a fixed to a variable displacement pump
zz Used as a load-sensing valve to control the flow rate of consumers independently of
the pressure
zz Versions available for various control pressure differentials
zz Excellent stability throughout the entire pressure and flow range
zz Excellent dynamic performance
zz Reliable operation due to integrated stroke limitation
zz External surfaces with Zn-Ni coating for advanced corrosion protection
(1,000 h salt spray test)
zz Optional internal draining of the load-sensing tube
zz Optional hydrodynamic damping available
zz Can be locked with a hand wheel (version H) or a tool (version B)
