    Using flow or pressure control spools Application overview Danfoss introduced the PVG 32 pressure control (PC) spools to the market in the 1990s to overcome instability problems on applications and to control the opening of counterbalance (CB) valves. Typically, a main boom on a crane could be applied with a CB valve for safety reasons.

    FC spool on page 5. A certain position of the spool will always give the same amount of flow out of the valve independent of load changes on the work ports. FC spool © Danfoss | Feb 2017 AB00000079en-US0101 | 5...

    So an FC spool offers no damping of the system but maintains a constant flow. © Danfoss | Feb 2017 AB00000079en-US0101...

    Pl. As a result, the spool deadband varies as the size of the load changes. So for PC spools a certain position of the main spool is proportional to a certain Pc pressure. © Danfoss | Feb 2017 AB00000079en-US0101 | 7...
  • Page 8 One of the drawbacks of a PC spool is that flow out of the valve is dependent on the size of the load and with variable deadband. PC control to B port on page 8 illustrates a cut through PVB with PC control to one port. PC control to B port © Danfoss | Feb 2017 AB00000079en-US0101...

    The flow out, Ql, is also shown on the graph as a dotted line. The amount of dampening applied is dependent on the relative difference in pressure between spool set point pressure and load varying pressure. The relative difference is shown on the graph as ΔP1 and ΔP2. © Danfoss | Feb 2017 AB00000079en-US0101 | 9...
  • Page 10: Pressure Control Spools With Counterbalance Valves

    Typically, a spool with FC in one direction (lifting) and PC in the other direction (lowering) is used for applications with CB valves to provide the best controllability in both cases. 10 | © Danfoss | Feb 2017 AB00000079en-US0101...
  • Page 11 A situation in which PC spools are of great value is when you are lowering a load in an application that uses counterbalance (CB) valves. A combined FC and PC spool, with the FC in the lifting port and the PC in the lowering port, results in optimal controllability. © Danfoss | Feb 2017 AB00000079en-US0101 | 11...
