Regulators take control of hydraulic fluid flow

The JP02C range of two-port proportional flow regulators provides precise electrical control of hydraulic fluid flow at pressures up to 210bar.

The JP02C range of two-port proportional flow regulators provides precise electrical control of hydraulic fluid flow at pressures up to 210bar.

As the UK's leading designer and manufacturer of hydraulic cartridge valves, Sterling Hydraulics' products are used in a wide range of applications including construction and earth moving equipment, agricultural and forestry machines, mining equipment and industrial machinery.

Where control of fluid flow is required, the two-way, pressure compensated JP02C spool type solenoid valves provide a regulated flow that is proportional to the input solenoid current, and is also virtually independent of fluctuations in the load or changes to the input.

This makes the valve the perfect control element where precise flow control is required from a remote electrical signal.

The signal can be from a manual joystick, like those used in "cherry-picker" lift units and car lifts, or computer generated for programmed, precision movements of machinery.

The JP02C valves are normally closed, and a normally open version - the JP02P - is also available.

Pressure compensation is an integral part of the cartridge.

The cartridge housing is constructed as a one-piece item to ensure internal concentricity, and this eliminates the need for a separate pressure compensation element.

Line bodies are available in anodised aluminium or zinc plated steel to suit system requirements.

The symmetrical coil is hermetically sealed and available with several different connector types.

There are three models in the range for flows up to 7.5, 15 and 23 litre/min and each can be fitted with 12 or 24V DC solenoids.

Infinitely variable manual override is available as an option on all the models.
