Description

Oleodinamica Marchesini V0316 is the VBCD 1/2 DE A PB double counterbalance valve, listed for maximum flow of 60 l/min and maximum operating pressure of 350 bar. The current factory article table gives a mass of 2.122 kg.

The factory pilot-ratio designation is 1:4.5. The valve controls the return flow of an overrunning load and holds the actuator when the directional valve is idle. The two cross-piloted branches control the actuator in both directions; supply pressure on one side opens the corresponding return-side counterbalance branch.

This is the 1/2" BSP Type A partially balanced double-counterbalance execution for a closed-centre directional valve. The manufacturer describes both the setting and pilot response as insensitive to back pressure for the specified circuit. Connect V1/V2 to supply and C1/C2 to the actuator. This threaded-port article is distinct from the direct-flange V0313.

The catalogue standard setting is 320 bar. This is a factory catalogue reference, separate from maximum component pressure and from the actual setting of a delivered unit. The manufacturer specifies a setting at least 1.3 times the load-induced pressure to permit closure at maximum load. The reference does not define a newly generated order-code configuration.

The zinc-plated steel body contains hardened and ground steel parts with standard BUNA-N seals and negligible internal leakage as described by the manufacturer.

The local technical PDF retains the complete applicable original manufacturer spread, including the exact article table, hydraulic symbol and installation drawing. Where curves specify oil at 50 °C and 30 cSt, these are reference conditions rather than operating-temperature limits.
