3General DescriptionThe CMX sectional valve is a stackable, load sensing, proportionaldirectional control valve, and can beoperated by hydraulic remote control(HRC) or electronic remote control(ERC) via integral electrohydraulicreducing valves.
A characteristic feature of the CMXvalve line is the concept of separatemeter-in and meter-out elements (Figure 1). The meter-in element is apilot operated, flow force, pressurecompensated, proportional sliding spooland controls fluid from the pump to theactuator. The meter-out elements arepilot controlled metering poppets, andcontrol exhaust fluid from the actuator totank. Each meter-out poppet functionsas a variable orifice between one of theactuators ports and the tank port, withthe degree of opening proportional tothe pilot signal.

The separation of the meter-in andmeter-out elements, plus the valvesmodular design, permits a broad rangeof control options to meet a variety ofload requirements. This is especiallydesirable for a stackable mobile valve,where a single valve bank must handlemany different functions.
The CMX sectional valve family consistsof two basic series with different flowratings the CMX100 and the CMX160.These valves are functionally identical,with most differences being due to thedifferences in their physical size.
A CMX valve bank is made up of aninlet body, from one to eight valvesections, and an end cover (Figure 2).The valve sections are connectedinternally to common pressure, tank,load sense, pilot supply and pilot drainpassages. Face seals between thesections seal the connecting passages,and the sections are held together by tierods and nuts. Threaded mounting boltholes are provided on the inlet body andend cover.
The pump, tank, load sense andelectrohydraulic pilot supply passagesare terminated in the inlet body, and thepilot drain is terminated in the end cover.Connections for the actuator and theHRC are made at each section.Electrical connections for electro-hydraulic valves are made at each coil.HRC and ERC controlled valves can beused in the same valve bank.

4Operating Valve SectionThe CMX valve section consists of threebasic parts: the main valve body, whichcontains the main flow passages andmain control elements, and two controlcaps that contain the pilot circuitry. Theone-piece control cap gaskets (Figure3), which provide a seal between thecontrol caps and the main valve body,are also part of the pilot circuit, providinga passage from the meter-in springchamber to the relief valve pilot stageand the meter-out servo. This formatallows for a wide variety of controloptions from relatively few basic parts;thus the valve can be tailored to theapplication at minimal extra cost. It alsomakes the valve quick and easy to finetune for a specific application.

9The operating elements in the CMXsectional valve can be divided into fivefunctional groups: meter-in, meter-out,load drop check valves, load sensecheck valves and relief valve pilotstages. The electrohydraulic versionincludes additional solenoid operatedproportional reducing valves to provide pilot control pressure. Eachfunctional group is described in thefollowing pages.
Meter-in elementThe meter-in element ports fluid fromthe valve inlet port to the A or Bmeter-in chamber. The meter-in elementis a pilot operated, spring centered,proportional sliding spool. The inlet portis closed in neutral. Two differentsprings are available to provide differentmeter-in cracking pressures (the pilotpressure required to begin flow from theinlet to an actuator port). The area gain(or slope of the metering curve) is thesame for both springs. The meter-inelement is available as a flow controltype (S*0**) or a pressure control type(S***).Low flow spool options are available forboth the flow control meter-in element(L*0**) and the pressure control meter-inelement (L***). The low flow optionprovides finer metering and lower flowcapability than the standard S*** spoolfor functions where the full flowcapability of the valve is not desired.Low flow spools are available for theCMX100 only.
Flow control meter-in elementsS*0 and L*0
The flow control element (shown on thefollowing page) provides nearly constantflow for a given command signal,independent of pressure drop across themeter-in spool and independent of loadpressure. Flow is proportional tocommand pilot pressure differential.Pressure compensation, which isachieved by utilizing flow forces,minimizes load interaction caused bythe simultaneous operation of more thanone function.

In the standard vented spool, fluidpasses through an orifice to the centerof the spool to the pilot pressure ports,where it is drained to tank via the HRC (hydraulic pilot models) or thereducing valve (electrohydraulicmodels). Ball check valves preventreverse flow through the vent when pilotpressure is applied to spools.

Pressure control meter-inelement S****This element (Figure 10) is similar to theflow control element, except thepressure control spool has a feedbackpiston on each end. The meter-inchamber pressure acts on the area ofthe piston and opposes the pilotpressure opening the spool. The result is that, for a given input signal(pilot pressure), the flow decreases asthe load pressure increases until themaximum pressure is reached at zero flow. By changing the input signal, the maximum load pressure canbe changed.
For a constant load pressure, changingthe input signal will change the velocityof the load. This feature provides the operator with a good feel for the
system by responding to changes inload pressure. For example, whendriving a load at a given speed, if anobstacle is encountered, the load willslow or even stop. This response,which is typical of traditional open centerbypass control valves, gives theoperator better control of the system.
The pressure control spool alsoincreases the system damping ratio,which affects system stability andresponse. By selecting the appropriatefeedback piston size (diameter), thesystem damping ratio can be tailored tothe application.
(Click here for feedback pistondiameters in the model code.)The larger the feedback piston, thegreater the increase in the damping ratiodue to the pressure control spool.
The pressure-flow relationship is shownin the Q-P diagrams on the followingthree pages. The slope of theconstant-pilot-pressure lines isdependent on feedback piston diameter.The flow is independent of loadpressure at zero load pressure, so aconstant pilot pressure line will interceptthe Q axis at the same point, regardlessof its slope.
The meter-in chambers are drained byan orifice to the pilot pressure ports in amanner similar to the S*0** flow control spool.

S*** spool pressurecompensationThe pressure control spool is pressurecompensated by flow forces to provide
constant flow independent of supplypressure, to minimize functioninterference. Since the spool doesrespond to load pressure and thepressure compensation curve is not
perfectly flat, changes in load pressurewill cause slight changes in the pressureflow relationship, as shown below(Figure 13).

Flow limitation orificeFlow to a work function can be limitedby the installation of a restricting orificein the pump supply port of the valvesection. Since the orifice will restrict flow
to all sections downstream, its use isnormally limited to the last valve in abank. The orifice is only effective if thelimited flow function is the highestpressure function for the pump. Theorifice reduces the pressure drop across
the meter-in element, while the pumpmaintains a constant pressuredifferential between pressure and loadsensing. The flow limitation orifice isavailable as a special order only.

Load sensing check valves standard designThe -25 design CMX sectional valvesare equipped with load sense checkvalves (Figure 15) that are different fromthe load sense shuttle valves providedon earlier models. The function of theload sense check valves is to supply thehighest active load pressure to the loadsense passage, while isolating lowerpressure meter-in chambers from theload sense passage. The load dropcheck valves prevent the load pressure
from overrunning loads or inactive(neutral) sections from reaching themeter-in chambers. When one or moreof the sections in a valve bank isenergized, the highest meter-in pressureis presented to the load sense port, which in turn controls the pump output pressure.
The load sensing pumps supplied byVickers normally produce an outputpressure between 13.8 bar (200 psi)and 41.4 bar (600 psi) above the loadsense pressure. When all the sections
are centered (or whenever the meter-inload sense signal decreases), all theload sense check valves close, trappingfluid in the load sense passage. Aprovision to vent this trapped fluid mustbe provided to allow the load sensesignal to decay and the pump outputpressure to return to standby. Valvebank end covers are available with aprovision to vent the load sense port to drain.

Operating Valve Section
On systems which utilize the 0.5 mmbleed orifice, it is recommended foroptimum performance that the orifice belocated at the end of the valve bankopposite the pump connection. Onmultiple valve bank systems, the loadsense connections should be made inseries, with the orifice located as farfrom the pump as possible. Onmidinlet valve banks, the loadsense-to-pump connection should bemade at one end cover, and the bleedorifice located at the opposite end cover.The reasons for the aboverecommendations are as follows:
Flow in the load sense passage to theload sense bleed orifice causes a
pressure drop through each section.The cumulative effect of the pressuredrop through each section can besignificant, especially at higher loadsense pressures, higher fluid viscosities,and when many sections are present.The higher load sense pressures causea higher bleed flow rate, and higher fluidviscosities (such as cold oil) cause ahigher pressure drop. If the bleed flowis toward the pump load sense port(Figure 16b), the pressure dropsubtracts from the load sense signal.For example, assume a 200 bar (2900psi) load, and a pump load sense settingof 13.8 bar (200 psi). When the valve isenergized, the 200 bar is presented to
the load sense passage. If flow to thebleed orifice causes a pressure loss of0.7 bar (10 psi) per section, and thereare eight sections between the valveand the pump, then the pump will sensea load sense signal of 194.4 bar (2820psi), and maintain an output pressure of194.4 + 13.8 = 208.2 bar, which is only 8.2 bar (119 psi) above the loadpressure. The result will be sloweroperation for that function. If the bleedflow is away from the pump load sense(Figure 16a), then the actual load sensepressure is supplied to the pump without flow induced pressurelosses, and consistent performance canbe achieved.

Load drop check valves standardThe load drop check valves (Figure 17)isolate the meterin spool and the loadsense check valves from the actuatorports. This feature makes it possible tomaintain very low cylinder port leakageindependent of meter-in spool-to-bore
clearance. Therefore, meter-inspool-to-bore clearances are relativelylarge, minimizing hysteresis and makingmeter-in spools fully interchangeable.
Bleed orificeCertain applications, such as brakerelease circuits and counterbalance
circuits, require low actuator portpressure to be maintained in neutral.Load drop check valves with a bleedorifice are available to vent fluid trappedin the actuator ports to the meter-inchambers. This feature requires ameter-in element with drain orifices andis available as a special order only.

Meter-out elementsMeter-out control is achieved by using apilot poppet-stem along with amodulating meter-out poppet to form asimple hydromechanical bleed servo(Figure 19). Actuator port pressure actson the annular differential area betweenthe major outside diameter of themeter-out poppet and the meter-outpoppet skirt (or seat) diameter, andtends to push the meter-out poppetopen. The pressure in the springchamber acts on the full major O.D.area of the meter-out poppet, and tendsto close the meter-out poppet. Whenthe meter-out element is closed, thepressure in the spring chamber isequalized to actuator port pressure via a
0.75 mm (.030 in.) orifice in themeter-out poppet. Since the pressure inthe spring chamber is only partiallyoffset by the actuator port pressureacting on the annular area, themeter-out poppet remains closedprovided tank pressure is below actuatorport pressure.
To open the meter-out poppet, pilotpressure applied to the meter-in springchamber is transmitted by a passage inthe control cap gasket to the meter-outpiston. The force against the meteroutpiston moves the poppet-stem from itsseat and against the opposing spring,opening a passage from the meter-outspring chamber to the tank passage.Fluid then passes from the actuator port
through the orifice in the meter-outpoppet to the spring chamber and thento tank. This flow develops a pressuredifferential across the orifice in themeter-out poppet, which subtracts fromthe actuator port pressure, reducing themeter-out spring chamber pressure.When the pressure in the meter-outspring chamber falls low enough, theactuator port pressure acting on theannular area will overcome themeter-out spring chamber pressure andopen the meter-out poppet, moving ittoward the poppet stem. This motion willtend to close the poppet-stem against itsseat, reducing the flow-inducedpressure drop across the orifice andincreasing the pressure in the meter-outspring chamber.

The meter-out poppet will assume aposition where the poppet stem-to-seatrestriction is such that the reducedpressure in the meter-out springchamber balances the forces on themeter-out poppet. The net effect is thatthe meter-out poppet follows thepoppet-stem position. The movement ofthe poppet-stem is controlled only by thepilot signal and the spring it movesagainst. The position feedback gain ofthe meter-out poppet is high, so a smallchange in position of the meter-outpoppet away from the balanced-force
position results in a large increase inforces acting to return the meter-outpoppet to the balanced-force position.These forces are high compared to flowforces, so the meter-out poppet will notclose prematurely due to flow forces.
Several different meter-out poppets areavailable which provide different areagains. A high gain poppet (low P atrated flow) provides better control whenlowering a light load. A low gain poppet(high P at rated flow) provides bettercontrol when lowering heavy loads.
Meter-out poppets are rated accordingto the actuator port to tank pressuredrop in bar across the poppet at thevalves rated flow with the poppet fullyopened. Performance data is shownbelow and on the following three pages.

Operating Valve Section
Anticavitation check valves standardCavitation protection is normallyprovided by reverse flow through themeter-out poppets. In this mode, tankpressure above the actuator portpressure, acting on the meter-outpoppet skirt area, opens the meter-outpoppet. Tank pressure is maintained by a back pressure check in the tankline. Performance (flow vs. pressuredrop) is shown in Figure 22 below andon the following page.
For meter-out load pressures above 70bar sufficient momentum exchangeoccurs, due to the high velocity jet froman actuator port exhausting fluidimpinging upon the opposite meter-outpoppet, to cause the opposite actuatorport pressure to be higher than the tankpressure. This phenomenon is fairlycomplex, since the opposite portpressure is a function of the loadpressure, load speed (or flow rate), thetank port pressure, the area gains ofboth meter-out poppets (poppet types)and the cylinder area ratio.
The following example is illustrative: fora CMX160 lowering A to T a load of 138bar (2000 psi), 160 lpm (42 USgpm), 1:1area ratio, open tank (no back pressurecheck valve), a type 56 meter-outpoppet in the A port, and a type 07poppet in the B port; the B portpressure is 12.9 bar (187 psi) and thetank port pressure is 0.5 bar (7 psi). Forthe same conditions with a 2:1 arearatio, the B port pressure would be 7.6bar (110 psi) and the tank pressurewould be 0.7 bar (10 psi).

The meter-out poppet will remain closedwhen the tank pressure is above theactuator port pressure and the meter-outservo is piloted open. In this case, thepoppet-stem opens and fluid enters thespring chamber from tank. The orifice inthe meter-out poppet restricts the flowleaving the spring chamber, so thespring chamber pressure is nearly equalto the tank pressure. Since the actuatorport pressure is lower than tank, theforce on the annular area of themeter-out poppet due to actuator portpressure is less than the opposing force
due to tank pressure in the springchamber, and the meter-out poppetcloses and remains closed. Cavitationcan occur under these conditions, whichnormally occur only if the float featureis used, or when reversing the directionof a moving load.
(Click here for float feature.)Special meter-out poppets are availablewith check valves which prevent reverseflow into the meter-out spring chamberand subsequent uncontrolled closing ofthe meter-out poppet. (Not available forCMX160 07 and 56 M-O poppets.)
Anticavitation moduleFor applications that require minimalback pressure in the tank port, a bolt-onmodule (Figure 23) is available thatprovides anticavitation performancesuperior to the meter-out poppet. Thismodule is only available on models with the SAE 4-bolt flange. Modules are available with single and dualanti-cavitation check valves. Figure 24,on th folloeing page, shows typicalperformance data.

Actuator port relief valveThe actuator port relief valve uses apilot stage to provide a pilot signal to themeter-out servo that, in turn, opens themeter-out poppet to relieve fluid to tank.
The relief valve pilot stage consists of apoppet, seat and spring (Figure 28).When actuator port pressure overcomesthe relief valve spring force, the reliefvalve poppet moves off its seat and fluidflows into the passage in the control capgasket (on hydraulic models, the reliefvalve poppet seat is incorporated intothe load drop check retainer).
This is the same passage thatcommunicates the meter-in springchamber to the meter-out piston. Arestriction in the control cap gasket islocated in this passage between therelief valve poppet and the meter-inspring chamber (between the reliefvalve poppet and reducing valve onelectrohydraulic models). Flow from the relief valve through the restrictioncauses pressure to build on the reliefvalve side of the restriction and istransmitted directly to the meter-outpiston, which in turn opens the
meter-out servo and meter-out poppet,relieving pressure in the actuator port.The relief valve setting is adjustable byshimming the pilot poppet spring, or byusing an optional adjustable relief valve.Relief valve override characteristics aregiven in Figures 29 and 30 on thefollowing four pages.Adjustable relief valves are factorypreset at 210 bar (3000 psi). Theadjustment range is from 100 to 290 bar(1450 to 4200 psi). Adjustmentsensitivity is 45 bar (650 psi) per turn ofthe adjusting screw.

Hydraulic actuationPilot pressure is supplied to eachsection via two #6 SAE O-ring bossports located on each control cap. Pilotdrain connections must be madeexternal to the reservoir. External drainis always the preferred configurationand MUST be used if tank pressure ishigh due to the installation or a backpressure check valve, or if high pressuretransients (spikes) are likely.It is important to note that the meter-outservo is referenced to the valve bankdrain, while the meter-in spool isreferenced to the opposite portcommand pressure. This requires theHRC drain pressures to be considered,since different drain pressures for thevalve bank and the HRC will altermeter-in and meter-out phasing. Ideally,both the HRC and the CMX valve bankshould be drained directly to thereservoir via generously sized lines.

Electrohydraulic actuationElectrohydraulic CMX sectional valvesoperate on the same principles as thehydraulic valves, with the addition of anelectrohydraulic proportional reducingvalve (Figure 32) to convert an electricalinput signal to a proportional commandpressure signal that operates the valve.The solenoid provides an output forceproportional to the input current that actson the solenoid end of the pilot spool.
When the solenoid is energized, thepilot spool is moved away from thesolenoid, closing the command port totank and opening the pilot supply to thecommand port. Command portpressure is supplied to the feedback endof the pilot spool through the passage inthe end cap gasket. When the feedbackpressure begins to balance the solenoidforce, the pilot spool closes the pilotsupply passage.
As the command pressure rises (due toleakage), the feedback pressureovercomes the solenoid, and the pilotspool moves to open the control port totank. The pilot spool modulates tobalance the feedback pressure againstthe solenoid output force, thus providingan output pressure proportional to thesolenoid input current. The pilot spooland bore are designed for zero overlap,so deadband is minimized.
The pressure output serves as thecommand pressure to actuate the CMXmeter-in and meter-out elements. Thesignal to the solenoid should beconditioned to a pulse width modulatedvoltage or current signal. DC power, upto the coil rating, may also be used foron-off operation.
Supply Voltages: 12/24 VDCMaximum Current: 1.4/.7 AMPRecommended PWM Freq. : 100 Hz
Solenoids are available with DINstandard 43650 plugs, Metri-Packconnector, or flying leads.
Valves are available with either internalor external pilot supply. On models withthe internal pilot option, pilot pressure issupplied to the proportional reducingvalve by an internal passage that isconnected to the system supplypassage in the inlet body. These modelsrequire that the minimum systempressure be maintained to the specifiedlimits to assure proper valve actuation.
Electrohydraulic CMX valves may beoperated manually in the event ofelectrical control failure by depressingthe manual override pin, located on theend of each solenoid, with a screwdriveror similar tool.

Since both electrohydraulic reducingvalves are referenced to a commondrain via the end cover, drain pressureis not critical. Either an internal drain to tank or an external drain (preferred) is available.
(Click here to see model code.).If high pressure transients are present inthe tank line, an external drain shouldbe used to avoid function interaction. Ifthe tank pressure is above 8.6 bar (125psi), an external drain should be used toavoid exceeding the pressure rating forthe pilot passages (35 bar [500 psi]).
Under certain operating conditions (highinlet pressure, fully shifted, and openrelief valve), pilot drain flow can be ashigh as 4 lpm (1 USgpm) for each activesection. Total anticipated drain flow mustbe considered when sizing drain lines.

Special Features
Meter-in pressure limitationMeter-out poppet version (withport relief valves)In valves with meter-out poppets, theport relief functions in the normalmanner. But because the orifice hasbeen relocated, the relief valve pilotstage also applies pilot pressure to themeter-in spool, which tends to opposethe command pressure. For example,assume we are driving a clamp cylinderP to A. When the cylinder fullyclamps, the A port relief setting isreached, and the pilot stage opens andbuilds pilot pressure to open themeter-out element. This pilot pressurealso acts on the meter-in spool opposingthe command pressure and tending toclose the meter-in spool, which reducesthe meter-in flow.
Since a pilot pressure of 4.2 bar (62 psi)is required to open the meter-outpoppet, a significant reduction in flow,equivalent to 4.2 bar (62 psi) commandpressure, through the meter-in spool willoccur before the meter-out poppetopens. From the meter-in command vs.flow diagrams on page 9, the reductionin flow is about 50 lpm (13 USgpm) forthe CMX100, and about 70 lpm (18 USgpm) for the CMX160.The total amount of closing depends onthe command signal and is limited bythe relief valve override. When themeter-out element is opened enough topass the full meter-in flow, furtherincrease in relief valve pilot signal willnot occur and, in turn, further shutoff ofthe meter-in is not possible. In Figure36 the diagram shows the resulting inletflow as the load pressure changes whilethe command current is fixed.
The meter-in pressure limitation featurelimits horsepower losses through theopen relief valves of a function withrelief settings below the systempressure setting. It is particularlyeffective for swing functions where therelief valves are set to limit maximumtorque. On these applications, with amoving load, meter-in pressurelimitation can prevent any losses overan open port relief valve. The meter-inpressure limitation feature should beused with caution on functions where anoverrunning gravity load is possible.With certain combinations of meter-outpoppets and cylinder area ratios,uncommanded movement may occur. The use of the meter-in pressure limitation feature must beapproved by Vickers SystemsEngineering Department

Special Features
Meter-in pressure limitationMeter-out spool version (no actuator port relief)In valves with the meter-out spool option(Figure 37), a relief valve pilot stage isadded (no relief pilot stage is present inthe standard configuration), and theorifice is located in the inlet to the
meter-in spring chamber. When thepilot stage opens, the resulting pilotsignal is applied to both the meter-in andthe meter-out spools, opposing thecommand pilot pressure and tending toclose both spools. Due to the phasingof the meter-in and meter-out spools(the meter-in requires a higher pilotpressure to crack), the meter-in spool
will completely shutoff flow before themeter-out spool will port fluid to tank.Thus, virtually no horsepower is lostwhen the function is stalled. Thisfeature controls the maximum pressureto a function at a setting below thesystem pressure setting. For a profile ofactuator port pressure versus commandpressure, see Figure 38.

Swing drive with free coastThis function utilizes a meter-out spooland a pressure controlling meter-inelement. Combining these featuresprovides acceleration control withminimal braking. Typical applicationsinclude swing drives and propelfunctions where braking control is notrequired or is accomplished by amechanical brake.
High flow single acting CMXThis option extends the flow range forthe CMX valve on applications requiringonly a three-way valve (Figure 39,following page). The meter-in spool isspring biased to one end of its bore, andas it is piloted open, it ports fluid first tothe A port then to both cylinder portssimultaneously. The meter-out poppetsremain closed when lifting. For lowering,the meter-in spool remains closed.
For superior metering while lowering,different gain meter-out poppets can be selected.
Both actuator ports must be connectedtogether externally by the user or by anoptional bolt-on block. The optionalbolt-on block is available only on theflange port sections. An option isavailable which uses only one meter-outpoppet when a large meter-out flow areais not required.
The dual poppet meter-out version is notavailable for the electrohydraulic narrowbody S2 sections.

Special Features
Swing drive with pressurecontrolled brakingThis feature provides meter-in pressurecontrol, proportional pressure controlledbraking through the command pressuresystem, and blocked actuator ports inneutral. To achieve proportional braking,the meter-out element is operated onlyby a special relief valve pilot circuit(Figure 41). (High gain meter out is
recommended because of relief valveoverride characteristics.)The relief valve setting is controlled bythe command pressure, which isaccomplished by a piston that is actedupon by command pressure to opposethe spring load on the relief valve pilotpoppet. As the command pressureincreases, the actuator port pressurerequired to open the relief valve poppetdecreases, effectively decreasing the
relief valve setting. Thus when driving aload, the relief valve setting is at aminimum, typically about 8 bar (116 psi).To brake the load, the pilot pressure isdecreased, which increases the reliefvalve setting. The pilot pressure isdecreased until the desired brakingpressure is achieved.
Note: The adjustable relief valve option is not available with swing drivevalve sections.

Special Features
Performance characteristics of themeterout pressure control valve can beplotted using Q-P diagrams. Figure 42ais the QP diagram for the CMX100S406 meterin spool. Figure 42b is theQ-P (relief valve override) diagram ofthe P03 relief valve for variouscommand pressures and a relief valvesetting of 208 bar. Combining thesediagrams yields Figure 42c (See Figure42e for CMX160 version). Note that theback pressure from the oppositeactuator port relief valve has beensubtracted from theconstant-pilot-pressure lines, so thepressure scale is the pressure dropacross the valves actuator ports. Now,for a given flow and command pressure,the pressure available to drive or brakethe load can be extracted. If anassumed steady state load curve isadded (Figure 42d), the chart can beused to determine the required
command pressure to drive the load at agiven speed; or, the equivalent brakingpressure (braking pressure plus the loadcurve) can be obtained.To illustrate the operation of the valve,assume the load is at rest and the valveis in neutral. Figure 42d shows a brakingpressure of 185 bar at point A, which isthe relief valve setting, and the pressurethat must be imposed by an externalload to move the load. As pilot pressureis applied, pressure begins to be appliedto the actuator at point B. When theload pressure is overcome at point C,the load begins to move. If the pilotpressure is increased to 20 bar, the loadwill accelerate along the 20 bar pilotpressure line until the output pressureequals the steady-state load pressure atpoint E. Note that the pressureavailable to accelerate the load is theoutput pressure at any given flow and
pilot pressure minus the steady stateload pressure.
To slow or stop the load, the commandpressure is reduced. If the commandpressure is reduced to 16 bar (point F),the load will continue to be driven but ata pressure below the steady-state loadcurve. The load will slow along the 16bar line until the steady state load curveis intersected at G point. If thecommand pressure is further reduced to8 bar, the load will brake until the loadstops. Here, the effective decelerationpressure at any given speed is thebraking pressure plus the steady-stateload pressure.
By modulating the command signal, theoperator has complete proportionalcontrol of swing driving and brakingpressures. This control providessmooth, precise control of high inertiaswing drives.

Special Features
Free coast (type Fmeter-out)This option provides a free coast or floatoperation in neutral. This isaccomplished by a passage betweenthe meter-out spring chamber and thecorresponding meter-in chamber (Figure
43). In neutral, pressure in the meter-inchamber is low; thus, the meter-outspring chamber pressure is low, and themeter-out poppet will open when therelatively light spring force of themeter-out servo stem is overcome.During commanded operation, a checkvalve prevents flow from the meter-in
chamber to the meter-out springchamber. Single F meter-out modelshold the load in one direction but not theother. The A*****F and B*****F modelshold the load in one direction but not the other. Dual F meter-out modelsgive a free coast or float feature in both directions.

Inlet Bodies
End inlet body with loadsensing relief valve(CMX100 only)This inlet body (Figure 47) is designedfor use with fixed displacement pumpsto provide a combined function similar toa variable displacement load sensingpump, but at a lower system cost. Inaddition to the system connections forpressure, tank, optional load sense andoptional external electrohydraulic pilotsupply, the inlet section incorporates aload sensing relief valve that maintainsinlet pressure at a fixed level above loadsense pressure and limits maximuminlet pressure to a preset value.
The load sensing relief valve uses abalanced spool concept to control inletpressure. Load sense pressure fromthe valve bank is admitted to the springchamber via a 1.27 mm (.050) orifice.
Load sense pressure plus the springload is balanced against the inletpressure on the opposite end of thespool. When the load sense pressureplus spring force is overcome by theinlet pressure, the spool opens allowinginlet flow to tank, thus controlling inletpressure. When the pre-set maximumpressure is reached in the springchamber, the pilot poppet opens, limitingthe spring chamber pressure (and thenthe inlet pressure) since the LS flow intothe spring chamber is controlled by the.050 orifice. Note that the pre-setmaximum pressure must be matched tothe spring(s) used, so the spools are not interchangeable.
Two springs are available, which may beused separately or as a nested pair togive three inlet-to-load sense pressuredifferential settings: 10 bar (145 psi), 16bar (232 psi) and 26 bar (377 psi). Theload sensing relief valve
is rated at 250 bar pressure (3625 psi).An optional solenoid operated unloadingvalve is also available which provides adirect path to tank when pump standbypressure is not desired. The unloadingvalve provides a 4.7 bar (68 psi)pressure differential at 100 lpm (26USgpm) and is open P to T when thesolenoid is de-energized. Theunloading valve is pressure rated at 205bar (3000 psi).An optional external load senseconnection is available for specialapplications. Load sense connectionsfrom other valve banks should be madeat the end cover when a load sensedecompression orifice is used todecompress the load sense passage.The load sense decompression orificeshould be located as far as possiblefrom the load sensing relief valve.

The CMX160 sections aremounted on one side of the mid-inlet,and the CMX100 sections are mountedon the opposite side. System pressureand tank connections are made in themiddle of the valve bank, rather than onthe end.
Standard mid-inlet
The standard mid-inlet (Figure 48)provides connections for pump, tankand external pilot supply (forelectrohydraulic valves). Internal pilotsupply is available by omitting a setscrew plug in a connecting passagebetween the pump port and pilot supplypassage, and plugging the external port.Load sense and external drainconnections for mid-inlet valve banksare made at the end covers.

Make-up flow is an anti-cavitationfeature. It is required in circuits wherean overrunning load is causing anactuator to move and draw more fluidfrom the tank port than is being returnedby the opposite actuator port, and acheck valve in the tank line preventsfluid from being drawn from tank. (Aswing function powered by a hydraulic
motor is a typical circuit that requiresmake-up flow.) The reducing valveshould be set 0.69 bar (10 psi) belowthe back pressure check valve setting.
