To complement an already wide selection of flow-control valves, Bucher Hydraulics is extending its product range with two sizes of 2-way flow-control cartridges. These high performance, load compensated screw-in cartridges are available with G ¼" (size 1) and M42x2 (size 16) mounting threads. By means of a fixed orifice, the flow rate to an actuator is kept constant regardless of load changes. The load compensation is done by the pressure-compensator piston, which maintains the pressure drop across the fixed orifice at a constant level. The flow-control cartridges can be supplied with various fixed orifices for optimum integration in the system. In addition, by using the adjustable pressure-compensator spring on the size 16 cartridge, the required flow rate (the control range depends on the fixed orifice) can be adjusted directly at the system.

2-way flow-control cartridges are used in mobile and industrial applications to maintain constant flow rates in meter-in or meter-out flow-control systems under conditions of varying pressure.
Load-independent flow rate
Various fixed orifices
Reliable operation over the whole pressure and flow range,
even with high pressure differentials
High stability in systems that are liable to oscillate
Excellent reproducibility
Minimal wear and long service life
