Essential hydraulic control valves that stop uncontrolled movement in hydraulic systems are kept in stock by counterbalance valve suppliers in the United Arab Emirates. Because they guarantee that loads are held firmly, and that motion in cylinders and motors is controlled, these load-holding valves are essential for safety in hydraulic applications. Cartridge counterbalance valves and inline threaded valves are common varieties that are appropriate for demanding industries like as material handling, industrial machinery, marine hydraulics, and construction equipment in the United Arab Emirates. Carbon steel, stainless steel, and premium seals to endure extreme conditions are common materials.
Fast delivery throughout the United Arab Emirates, including Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Sharjah, on-site technical support, hydraulic system integration, valve selection and size, and preventative maintenance services are all included in the services.
Typical UAE Price Range (AED):
• Standard Cartridge Valves: 150–600/pc
• Inline Threaded Valves: 350–1,200/pc
• Pilot-Assisted Valves for heavy loads: 800–2,500/pc
• Customized Valve Blocks: 1,000–5,000/unit.
Note: Pricing varies by valve type, pressure rating (210 bar to 350 bar), port size, pilot ratio, material construction, and order volume.

By producing a backpressure to hold a load in place and regulate its descent, the main goal is to prevent uncontrollable movement in hydraulic systems and guarantee safety in hydraulic applications.
Although they both regulate pressure, a counterbalance valve is a pilot-operated valve made especially to support a load and permit regulated flow in response to a pilot signal. A relief valve is a straightforward pressure-limiting mechanism that safeguards the system by opening at a predetermined pressure.
The spring chamber is adjusted to establish the cracking pressure. To safely hold the load without creeping, it should normally be set at 1.3 times the maximum load-induced pressure at the cylinder rod port.
To keep hydraulic motors from over speeding when moving overhauling loads, like in winch or conveyor applications, they are frequently utilized as motion control hydraulic goods.
Internal leaking past the valve's poppet or inside the cylinder itself, an improperly adjusted (too low) cracking pressure, or a malfunctioning pilot-operated check valve in the system can all result in cylinder creep.
