Counterbalance Valves
The vertical (jack) outrigger cylinders have load-holding
(counterbalance) valves installed in the base of the cylinder.
The purpose of these valves is to inhibit the cylinder from
retracting if a hydraulic hose breaks. The counterbalance
valve will hold the oil in the base of the cylinder until there is
sufficient oil and pressure from the pump available to the rod
side of the cylinder.
Oil flows freely through the counterbalance valve and into
the cylinder base end when the cylinder is being extended.
To retract the cylinder, oil is sent to the rod port of the
cylinder. As the cylinder starts to retract, the piston meets
resistance from the oil held in the cylinder base end by the
counterbalance valve. Pressure increases as the pump tries
to overcome the resistance.
