Product Questions & Answers

running this on a loader with a variable displacement pump, any chance it'll hunt or surge at the CF port?

Question by: Harold W on Aug 17, 2025, 12:55 PM

Compensated pumps and priority flow valves can absolutely fight each other if there's nothing to settle the spool movement. Brand Hydraulics built a dashpot into the compensator spool on this one specifically to dampen that hunting. So pairing it with a variable displacement pump is a known use case and the valve accounts for it.
