Rugged hydraulic over air relay valve

MICO Incorporated has new hydraulic-over-air relay valves designed to convert hydraulic modulated input pressure to a proportional output air pressure. The relay valves are ideal for various applications, such as controlling an air-braked trailer with a hydraulically braked towing vehicle that has an air power source. The system originates with a hydraulic vehicle component, such as a master cylinder or hydraulic control valve, which delivers a given hydraulic input pressure. This input pressure sends a pil

The new MICO hydraulic-over-air relay valves are said to be rugged and able to cope with a wide array of operating values
3450 MICO Incorporated has new hydraulic-over-air relay valves designed to convert hydraulic modulated input pressure to a proportional output air pressure.

The relay valves are ideal for various applications, such as controlling an air-braked trailer with a hydraulically braked towing vehicle that has an air power source. The system originates with a hydraulic vehicle component, such as a master cylinder or hydraulic control valve, which delivers a given hydraulic input pressure. This input pressure sends a pilot signal to the relay valve in order to modulate air brake pressure on the other end. MICO offers three different hydraulicover- air relay valve designs: single, dual and tandem. The single input design provides one hydraulic pilot port to control modulated air braking pressure.

  • High performance, high mobility of wheeled pavers
    February 14, 2012
    New generation wheeled pavers aimed at use in territories such as the UK, Italy, South Africa and Southern Germany are now coming to market. Pavers in these countries are often expected to be driven from one part of a site to another or for short distances, which is why the additional mobility of the wheeled machine is preferred in many instances over similarly-sized tracked models. This preference for wheeled units comes in spite of the greater stability offered by tracked machines. BOMAG, Caterpillar and
