Lowering brake valve

Back pressure valve with the task of preventing pulling loads on cylinders or motors from causing uncontrolled lowering. For this purpose, it is pre-loaded to a higher pressure than the pressure corresponding to the maximum permitted load. The desired lowering velocity is reached by activating the valve using a hydraulic piston. Application: cranes, winches, etc.
