Priority Valve

(Pressure Compensator)
Spool Type, Direct Acting
Cartridge Valve UNF – 350 bar
up to 100 l/min
DW12P
up to 350 bar

FUNCTION FEATURES
zz Hydrodynamic damping
zz Excellent stability throughout pressure and flow range
zz External surfaces zinc-plated and corrosion-proof
zz Hardened and ground valve components to ensure minimal wear and extended
service life
zz Used as a load sensing valve to control the flow rate of consumers independently of
the pressure
