4/8 Z2FS | Throttle check valve
Function, section
The Z2FS-type valve is a throttle check valve in sandwich
plate design. It is used to limit the flow of one or two
actuator ports.
Two throttle check valves aligned symmetrically to each
other limit the flow in one direction (using an adjustable
throttle spool) and allow free return flow in the opposite
direction.
During supply throttling, the hydraulic fluid arrives at
actuator A② via channel A① via the throttling point (1).
The throttle spool (2.1) can be adjusted axially via the
spindle (3), thus enabling the throttling point to be set (1).

Simultaneously, the hydraulic fluid that is present in chan-
nel A① reaches the piston side (5) via the bore (4). In
addition to the spring force, the applied pressure holds
the throttle spool (2.1) in throttle position.
The hydraulic fluid flowing back from actuator B② displaces
throttle spool (2.2), thus enabling unhindered flow as a
check valve. Depending on the version (“S” or “S2”), the
throttle effect can occur in the supply or in the discharge.
Flow limitation
For changing the speed of an actuator, throttle check valve
is installed between the directional valve and the subplate.

fluids, refer to data sheets above or contact us!
▶▶ There may be limitations regarding the technical valve data (tem-
perature, pressure range, life cycle, maintenance intervals, etc.)!
▶▶ The flash point of the hydraulic fluid used must be 40 K higher
than the maximum solenoid surface temperature.
–– Maximum pressure differential 210 bar, otherwise, increased
cavitation
–– Pressure pre-loading at the tank port > 20% of the pressure
differential, otherwise increased cavitation
–– Life cycle as compared to operation with mineral oil HL,
HLP 30 to 100%

1) The cleanliness classes stated for the components need to be

maintained in hydraulic systems. Effective filtration prevents
faults and at the same time increases the life cycle of the
components.
