Question by: Todd J on Jan 23, 2026, 6:22 AM

What exactly does this counterbalance valve do? I'm a bit green when it comes to hydraulics.

Answer by: Customer Support on Jan 25, 2026, 6:46 AM

Counterbalance valves like this one prevent a load from running ahead of the pump, especially useful in situations where you need precise control over movement, such as lowering a heavy object. They essentially hold back the load until enough pressure is applied to allow controlled descent.

no adjustment on this valve at all, that's correct? just fixed from the factory?

Answer by: Customer Support on Jun 4, 2025, 6:51 AM

Fixed from the factory, yes. The CBCA-LHN has no adjustable end and no adjustment mechanism of any kind. What you get is a set, non-calibrated configuration straight out of the box. For applications where you need a consistent, unchanging pressure response without the variability that comes with adjustable valves, that's actually a feature rather than a limitation. No knobs, no dials, nothing to drift out of spec over time.

so there aint any adjustment on this one, right?

Answer by: Customer Support on Jan 26, 2026, 11:12 AM

No adjustments are built into this valve. It is made without an adjustable end and it is described as non-calibrated, so it is meant to be a straightforward, fixed counterbalance valve.
