Examples Using Load-Sensing Hydraulic System (Power Beyond)

Example 1 -Control valves with a load-sense provide a load-sense signal to hydraulic system and can be operated manually or by solenoids.

Example 2 -Regular control valve directs oil into either of two circuits, only one requiring pressure above 2600 kPa (26.0 bar) (380 psi). Connect load-sense line to circuit requiring pressure. An example is a wagon lift cylinder with load supported by mechanical stops in full down position. Load-sense signals pump when increased pressure is needed. Pressure remains low when not needed.

Circuit allows cylinder "leak-down" through load-sense line (C). If leakage is not acceptable for operation, use Example 3.

Example 3 -Regular control valve directs oil into either of two circuits, either requiring high pressure. Connect load-sense line to pressure line before control valve.

NOTE: System will maintain a maximum pressure of 20 000 kPa (200 bar) (2900 psi) as long as Power-Beyond hoses are connected. If other functions are operating at continuous flow, increased hydraulic oil temperature may result.

A common example would be a folding implement, where pressure is needed to extend or retract cylinders. Disconnect Power- Beyond hoses when not in use.

Example 4 -Pressure-compensated flow control valve is used to regulate hydraulic motor speed. Connect load-sense line to pressure line after control valve.

NOTE: Motor speed may fluctuate when other functions cause system pressure change. Prevent fluctuations by installing a pressure-compensated flow control valve.
