This Eaton Char-Lynn 1CEV30 Series Counterbalance Cartridge Valve provides static and dynamic load control by regulating flow in hydraulic actuators. The pressure-balanced valve is unaffected by back pressure, allowing service line reliefs to operate and enabling use in regenerative or proportional valve systems. It's suited for mobile and industrial applications, including harvesters and refuse haulers.
This screw-in cartridge valve requires a machined C-10-3S cavity for installation, and offers an adjustable range of 1450-4000 PSI, with a factory setting at 3500 PSI and a 5:1 pilot ratio.

Will this valve work okay in a hydraulic system on a refuse truck?
Answer by: Customer Support on Oct 20, 2025, 6:27 AM
This counterbalance valve is suitable for mobile applications like refuse haulers, offering control for hydraulic actuators. Just make sure your system meets the recommended filtration level of ISO 18/13 or better to keep it running smoothly.
Question by: Kurt W on Nov 7, 2025, 8:16 AM
got a harvester that's been having runaway issues on the downstroke, wondering if this valve's 5:1 pilot ratio is the right call or if I should be looking at the 7:1 version
Answer by: Customer Support on Nov 8, 2025, 2:11 PM
For a harvester where the load shifts around a lot or where the machine structure has some flex to it, the 5:1 ratio is actually the better fit. The 7:1 is built more for situations where the load stays pretty steady throughout the cycle. If you're dealing with variable loads or any structural flex that could feed instability back into the circuit, the 5:1 gives you better control and is less likely to hunt or chatter during operation.
