Hose Brake valves

HYDAC Hose Break Valves eliminate uncontrolled movements of the actuator in case of line rupture. They are commonly applied with dead weight cylinders. These valves are volume limiting flat seat valves. At normal flow, the poppet is held open by a spring with enough force to counteract the force on the poppet created by the flow. When the supply line is ruptured, the flow from 2 to 1 exceeds the specified flow rate, the P across the poppet creates a force greater than the spring force and closes the valve.
