Description

Oleodinamica Marchesini V0433 (VBCD 3/8 DE FL CC) is a double counterbalance valve rated for 40 l/min maximum flow and 350 bar maximum operating pressure. Its factory pilot ratio is 1:4.5. The manufacturer lists a standard setting of 320 bar; this catalogue setting is separate from the maximum pressure rating.

The two counterbalance sections control load-driven actuator movement and retain the load in both directions. Pilot pressure opens the appropriate controlled return path, while the integrated check paths permit supply flow. Connect V1/V2 to the supply and C1/C2 to the actuator as shown in the original hydraulic schematic.

The CC execution is specified for closed-centre circuits. The manufacturer describes it as insensitive to return back pressure and suitable for applications where a standard overcentre valve does not control the load correctly. This identifies the counterbalance design compatibility, rather than a centre position of a directional spool inside this valve.

Supply connections V1/V2 are 3/8" BSP; both actuator-side C1/C2 passages are flanged 9 mm bores with O-ring sealing. Mount them to the matching actuator interface. The separately illustrated mounting base is not implied to be included.

The manufacturer specifies a valve setting at least 1.3 times the load-induced pressure. Check the circuit setting against the actual load; no customer-specific adjustment or /P or /PP option is inferred from this standard article code. The body is zinc-plated steel with hardened and ground steel internals and standard BUNA N seals.
