MODEL 3:1 pilot ratio, standard capacity counterbalance valve

CBCA SERIES 1 / CAPACITY: 15 gpm / CAVITY: T-11A

sunhydraulics.com/model/CBCA

3-Port Non-vented
Counterbalance valves with pilot assist are meant to control an overrunning load. The check valve allows free flow
from the directional valve (port 2) to the load (port 1) while a direct-acting, pilot-assisted relief valve controls flow
CONFIGURATION from port 1 to port 2. Pilot assist at port 3 lowers the effective setting of the relief valve at a rate determined by the
pilot ratio.

TECHNICAL FEATURES
Counterbalance valves should be set at least 1.3 times the maximum load induced pressure.
Turn adjustment clockwise to decrease setting and release load.
Full clockwise setting is less than 200 psi (14 bar).
Backpressure at port 2 adds to the effective relief setting at a ratio of 1 plus the pilot ratio times the backpressure.
Reseat exceeds 85% of set pressure when the valve is standard set. Settings lower than the standard set pressure may result in lower reseat percentages.
This valve does not have positive seals on the pilot section and will pass up to 3 in³/min.@1000 psi (45 ml/min.@70 bar ) between port 2 and port 3. This is a
consideration in master-slave circuits and in the leak testing of valve-cylinder assemblies.
Cartridges configured with EPDM seals are for use in systems with phosphate ester fluids. Exposure to petroleum based fluids, greases and lubricants will damage
the seals.
Sun counterbalance cartridges can be installed directly into a cavity machined in an actuator housing for added protection and improved stiffness in the circuit.
Two check valve cracking pressures are available. Use the 25 psi (1,7 bar) check unless actuator cavitation is a concern.
All 3-port counterbalance, load control, and pilot-to-open check cartridges are physically interchangeable (i.e. same flow path, same cavity for a given frame size).
Corrosion resistant cartridge valves are intended for use in corrosive environments and are identified by the model code suffix /AP for external stainless steel
components, or /LH for external zinc-nickel plated components. See the CONFIGURATION section for all options. For further details, please see the Materials of
Construction page located under TECH RESOURCES.
Incorporates the Sun floating style construction to minimize the possibility of internal parts binding due to excessive installation torque and/or cavity/cartridge
machining variations.
