MICO

Sept. 28, 2010

Providing more than triple the flow capacity of a traditional electrohydraulic brake valve (EBV), the new S12 Series from MICO has been able to replace either two standard EBVs operating in parallel or an EBV and relay valve, when utilized in large spring-applied, hydraulic-release brake applications. The S12 uses the patented MICO auto-relieving feature to get more travel and flow capacity out of the proportional solenoid valve.

roviding more than triple the flow capacity of a traditional electrohydraulic brake valve (EBV), the new S12 Series from MICO has been able to replace either two standard EBVs operating in parallel or an EBV and relay valve, when utilized in large spring-applied, hydraulic-release brake applications. The S12 uses the patented MICO auto-relieving feature to get more travel and flow capacity out of the proportional solenoid valve. The brake valve handles high flows without the complexity and orifices associated with pilot-operated fluid power valves. Instead of a pilot valve, a high force solenoid is combined with a precision-fit spool and housing to maximize contaminant resistance and minimize leakage.
