GENFLOW REGENERATION VALVE - HOW IT WORKS
Jaw Close in Regeneration:
Oil that would normally leave the rod end of the cylinder and return
to the tank is diverted to the bore end of the cylinder, increasing flow by approximately 50 percent
and speeding up jaw close. In this mode, oil pressure on both rod and bore sides of the cylinder
piston are basically equal and, although this speeds up the cylinder extend speed, it results in
pressurized fluid on the rod side. If left in this mode, cylinder power is greatly reduced.
Jaw Close in Power Mode:
To provide full power, when the upper jaw hits the material, the
pressure rises. Once pressure exceeds the adjustment cartridge settings, it then shifts the rod oil
back to the excavator hydraulic tank instead of the bore end of the cylinder. Pressure in the rod
also drops, allowing full force from the bore pressure to be applied to the upper jaw for full cutting.
Jaw Open:
Oil goes to the rod end of the cylinder, and bore oil goes back to the tank.
