What is load valve?
Load-holding valves, also known as over-center valves or counterbalance valves are a type of pressure control valve. They prevent loads on cylinders or motors dropping in an uncontrolled manner. A hydraulic piston controls the opening of the valve to achieve the required lowering velocity.
What is the purpose of load sensing valve?
The load sensing valve (L.S.V.) serves the purpose of automatically adapting the brake pressure and therefore the brake force according to the load of the vehicle.
What is load induced pressure?
Load lowering is prevented by the relief section of the counterbalance valve and the load induced pressure (Pload) generates a force in the opening direction opposite to the spring load, consequently the load diminishes the actual pilot pressure needed to start opening the relief piston.

How do load sensing pumps work?
A load sense compensator will react to increases in the load by increasing output pressure. This is done by sensing the pressure drop across an external orifice and adjusting displacement to maintain a constant pressure drop across the orifice.
What is an overrunning load?
Some actuators with running-away (or overrunning) loads will let the load free fall when the directional valve that controls the actuator shifts to lower the load. When the directional valve shifts, an overrunning load forces the actuator to move faster than pump flow can fill it.
How does a load holding valve work on a hydraulic tip?
The combined pressure from the pilot on the bore end of the cylinder and the load pressure from the rod end of the cylinder will open the load-holding valve, allowing flow from the cylinder to tank to lower the cylinder. As the load begins to lower and accelerate, the pilot line pressure will decrease and begin to close the load-holding valve.
Which is an example of a load holding valve?
A very basic hydraulic example is when a directional valve is being used to raise and lower a load vertically. A standard load-holding valve has been placed between the line running from the directional valve to the rod end of the cylinder.
How does a load sensing control valve work?
When all spools are in the center or neutral position, the load-signal port is vented to tank and the pump maintains standby pressure equal to or slightly higher than the load-sensing control’s delta p setting. High-end load-sensing directional control valves feature a pressure compensator at the inlet to each valve section.
What kind of hydraulic control is load sensing?
One type of hydraulic control system in widespread use, but not well understood, is load-sensing control. Load-sensing describes a type of variable pump control used in open circuits.
