Welcome to our April 2025 newsletter!

As spring sets in, we are excited to share a few insights. In this newsletter, we’re focusing on the benefits of integrated counterbalance valves in our boosters.

A miniBOOSTER with an integrated counterbalance valve is designed to provide stability, safety, and efficiency in hydraulic systems. The valve saves energy, speeds up the process, and reduces wear and tear, making it a more sustainable solution.

As always, miniBOOSTER ensures that you have access to the products you need, exactly when you need them. Our extensive inventory allows us to ship most orders the same day, regardless of your location.

MINIMUM SIZE – MAXIMUM POWER

Key Functions of Using a miniBOOSTER with an Integrated Counterbalance Valve

The benefits of a booster with an integrated counterbalance valve includes:

  • Increased efficiency (faster speed)
  • Extended lifespan. The booster is only activated when needed, which reduces wear and ensures a longer operational life.

A booster with an incorporated counterbalance valve enables fast-forward movement of a cylinder by directing the full inlet flow to pass directly through the booster section until the set pressure is reached, also called Idle movement. 

At that point, the counterbalance valve opens, and the booster starts oscillating, facilitating the high-performance, two-speed, two-force solution. The booster’s speed is at its highest when there is no load. The incorporated valve eliminates the phase where the booster is most vulnerable, further enhancing its durability.

Applications in Hydraulic Systems

miniBOOSTER with incorporated Counterbalance valves are widely used in applications with big cylinders and long idle movement.

Common applications include:

  • Cranes & hoists
  • Hook lift trailers
  • Mine plows   
  • Rough necks 
  • Chip presses 
  • Industrial presses

Take a closer look at some of our products with integrated counterbalance valve:
