Choosing the Right Hydraulic Cushion Valve
Selecting the right hydraulic cushion valve depends on how your system manages pressure fluctuations, fluid direction, and load requirements. Cushion valves with crossover relief are ideal for preventing pressure spikes and cavitation in double-acting cylinders and hydraulic motors.
These valves are widely used in construction, agriculture, and manufacturing, where precise pressure control and reliable system protection are critical. Explore more industries we serve to find the best fit for your application.

Hydraulic Cushion Valve FAQs
What is a hydraulic cushion valve used for?
A hydraulic cushion valve, also known as a double relief valve, is used to protect hydraulic systems from pressure spikes and shock loads. It allows fluid crossover between ports to prevent cavitation, especially in double-acting cylinders and reversible motors.
What pressure ranges do your cushion valves support?
Our cushion valves support a range of pressure settings, including models like the RC Series with adjustable relief from 500 to 1500 PSI, and the 1CLLR100 Series with settings from 1650 to 5075 PSI, suitable for high-pressure systems.
What flow rates are your cushion valves rated for?
Depending on the model, flow capacities range up to 40 GPM. The RC Series supports up to 30 GPM, while higher capacity options are available for more demanding applications.
Are your cushion valves adjustable?
Yes. Most models feature screw-adjustable relief settings, allowing precise pressure control. Some include a capped acorn nut for tamper resistance.
Do you offer support or repair services for hydraulic valves?
Yes. We provide full hydraulic valve repair services, including diagnostics, testing, and maintenance through our in-house repair center.
