Electronic Compensated Flow Control Valves

The Brand Hydraulics electronically adjustable proportional pressure compensated flow control is an electronically controlled version of the original FC51 style flow control valve. The valve performance as a flow control is similar for both the EFC and FC51 as they use the same spring and compensator spool, therefore, the control flow port (CF) and the excess flow port (EX) remain usable and pressure compensated. The EFC valve flow can be adjusted proportionally with a solenoid instead of manually.

The Brand Hydraulics electronic control box is designed to proportionally adjust the EFC Series valves. The controller’s design makes it suitable for both outdoor and indoor environments, with weather proofing features to help it function in the elements. The controller is Pulse Width Modulated (PWM), which helps reduce the effects of hysteresis.

Valves

  • Diamond honed spool bore provides consistent spool fit with low leakage
  • O’ring ports eliminate leakage
  • Standard 3-port allows for pressure compensated flow out of the CF and EX ports
  • Manual override when electrical power is lost
  • 10 – Micron filtration recommended

Control Box

  • Rugged aluminium box construction
  • Heavy-duty foot brackets for quick and secure mounting
  • Colour keyed SAE automotive grade wire leads for easy wiring and identification
  • Different potentiometers, power switches, LEDs and connector configurations
  • Single Pulse width modulated (PWM) output
  • Weatherproof seals on power switch, potentiometer, fuse holder, wire bushing and box lid
  • Externally mounted fuse holder for quick and easy fuse change to protect against over current conditions
  • Input protection from voltage transients, load dumps, 2-battery jumps and reverse polarity hook-ups
  • Power switches are separate from main control knob for turning valve on and off without loss of flow setting
  • Circuit board is coated with a conformal coating to protect against moisture
