Adaptability of hydraulic valves

Here's another Flint Hydraulics Tech Tip: Modern valve versatility offers adaptabilities such as field conversion from open center to closed center in minutes; load sensing capabilities standard in all valves; integral load sense shuttle valve networks; directional control spools that double-duty as superb flow control devices; standard anti-load drop check valves; power-beyond capability; and internal electronic circuitry which closes the electronic loop in the solenoid.

Flow rate determines speed

Here's another Flint Hydraulics Tech Tip: A flow control valve changes the flow rate of a cylinder. Flow rate determines cylinder speed of extension and retraction and therefore, the speed of blade movement. Flow control valves increase or decrease flow rate by means of an adjustable internal orifice; the smaller the orifice through which the oil is forced to flow, the lower the flow rate to the cylinder.
