6.Throttling LS introduction of pressure compensation valve
FUNCTION
. If the other actuator is relieved during compound operations, LS introduction throttle b of reducing valve (1) di-
vides the flow and sends more oil to the side receiving compensation.
OPERATION
. If the other actuator (right side) is relieved during
compound operations, each circuit pressure ( P
PA
and P
A
) of the other actuator becomes the same
as the pump circuit pressure ( P
P
=relief pressure).
. In this case, spring chamber P
LS2
of the other ac-
tuator (right side) becomes the same as pump cir-
cuit pressure P
P
because of the balance of redu-
cing valve (1).
. P
LS2
passes through LS introduction throttle b of
reducing valve (1) and becomes P
LS
. P
LS
is con-
nected to the tank circuit from LS bypass plug (4),
so pressure loss is generated at LS introduction
throttle b (the condition becomes P
LS
< P
LS2
).
. As a result, even if the other actuator is relieved, a
pressure differential is created between P
P
and
P
LS
, so more oil flows to actuator circuit A on this
side (left side).
