1. Description The LF-690 is a single stage piston sensed pressure regulator, capable of a maximum 690 bar inlet pressure. This can then be controlled to a range of outlet pressures depending upon the sensing arrangement. As standard, the LF-690 comes with a Tungsten Carbide main valve and heat treated 17-4ph seat, which provides excellent resistance to erosion on hydraulic media.
The LF-690 incorporates a segregated captured vent, which allows the outlet pressure to be reduced whilst turning the hand wheel anti-clockwise. Excess pressure is vented off through the ‘Vent’...
99/92/EC. 6. Servicing and Maintenance With so many variants of the LF-690 available, the following section uses three examples with the aim of covering most options. The product supplied may vary from these examples.
