Operating principle
This flow restrictor uses a finely adjustable needle mechanism to reduce or increase the cross-section available for hydraulic oil to pass through. The operator can manually turn the knob to control the flow rate, which helps slow down or speed up components like cylinders or hydraulic motors. Because it’s bidirectional, it restricts flow in both directions making it especially useful where motion must be regulated during both extension and retraction. This fine-tuning enhances the overall precision, efficiency, and safety of hydraulic operations.
