HLK-6000 Dual Pilot-Operated Check Valves combine two check valves and a pilot shuttle to enable actuator position holding or the locking of a fluid inside a specific portion of a hydraulic circuit. Typical applications are position holding of hydraulic manipulators and pan & tilt units.
The check valves permit free flow in one direction and block flow in the other. When flow passes through one check valve, back pressure shifts the pilot spool to lift the opposing check valve allowing flow to return to the directional control valve. When the pilot pressure is removed, both check valves are re-seated by springs acting on the precision ball bearings.
