Compact off-highway machines demand increasingly high hydraulic performance without the space, cost, or complexity of traditional load sensing architectures. Compact high-performance pressure-compensated load-sensing (PCLS) valves help deliver the smallest sectional footprint in the market. This presentation will explore this unique technology, including an example with a patented series pump connection with a metered compensator bypass, enabling tailored multifunction flow sharing, smooth compensator hand offs and improved efficiency. The platform’s compact scale is enabled by a small electro proportional relief valve, allowing fully integrated electrohydraulics without sacrificing performance, durability, or system flexibility for compact machine applications.

• How full PCLS performance is achieved in an ultra-compact sectional footprint
• How integrated EPRVs enable compact electrohydraulic system design
• How simplified architecture reduces component count and overall system cost
• How compact packaging enables easier machine integration and improved overall design flexibility
• Target markets: <3T mini excavators, AWP, TMH and compact loaders
