The LCBEG-J-12T/S is an L Series counterbalance cartridge valve supplied in a body with SAE 12 porting. It is rated for 31 gpm and a 5,076 psi operating pressure, with a 4.5:1 pilot ratio and a spring range of 1,000 to 5,000 psi.
A counterbalance valve holds a load in place and controls how it comes down. It blocks flow out of the cylinder until pilot pressure from the opposite line, working with load pressure, opens it. That keeps an overrunning load from running ahead of the pump and lets it lower under control. Flow into the cylinder passes freely through the built-in check.
The pilot ratio sets how much pilot pressure the valve needs to open compared with its spring setting. At 4.5:1, the valve opens with a pilot pressure well below its setting. Set the valve above the highest pressure the load can create, within the 1,000 to 5,000 psi spring range.
The body is anodized aluminum alloy, and the valve is rated for -30°F to +250°F. SAE 12 body porting accepts standard straight thread O-ring boss fittings. Confirm your load pressure, flow and port size against these figures before ordering.
