FCV12-3 By Pass Flow Control
OPERATION
The valve regulates flow from port `P` to port `R` and by-passes the excess to port `T`. The regulated flow from port `R`can be adjusted from zero to 60 litres/min. maximum by turning the adjustment screw counter-clockwise, and remains virtually constant regardless of load variations. The blocking of port `R` is not recommended as it will cause pressure build-up and overheating in the hydraulic system. Port ‘T’ is a tank port, and is not suitable for driving secondary circuits.
