Brand Hydraulics valves and electro-hydraulic control components

Brand Hydraulics equipment: FC and EFC flow controls, B50 flow dividers, and Series 36 sectional directional valves for industrial hydraulic machinery.

Brand Hydraulics FC and FCR pressure compensated flow controls

Brand Hydraulics FC and FCR flow control valves maintain constant flow rates to hydraulic actuators under fluctuating circuit pressures. The rotary adjustment lever varies the metering orifice while an internal compensator spool bypasses surplus hydraulic fluid to the reservoir line.

Hydrodynamic pressure compensation maintains accurate actuator speeds under load shifts
FC51 and FCR51 models deliver regulated flow metering up to thirty gallons per minute
Integrated adjustable relief valve in FCR models protects auxiliary circuit components
Durable ductile iron housing with heat treated precision ground steel metering spool

Brand Hydraulics EFC and LEFC proportional electronic flow controls

Brand Hydraulics EFC series proportional flow control valves combine proven FC51 hydro-mechanics with electric actuation. The electromagnetic actuator adjusts the metering spool proportionally, enabling remote automated fluid metering across mobile equipment hydraulic circuits.

Proportional electrical metering control compatible with twelve and 24 volt drivers
Proven FC51 spring and compensator architecture ensures repeatable fluid regulation
Linear flow metering out of the regulated port across changing system working loads
Manual override capability allows mechanical adjustment during electrical power outage

Brand Hydraulics B50, B100 and BG proportional flow dividers and combiners

Brand Hydraulics B50, B100, and BG series flow dividers divide single inlet fluid streams into two separate output lines in fixed or adjustable ratios. The units eliminate skewing and maintain cylinder synchronization when driving parallel hydraulic actuators under uneven loads.

Hydraulic actuator speed synchronization with standard fifty-fifty flow division ratio
BG gear type units deliver efficient bidirectional dividing and combining operations
Flow capacities spanning one to 120 gallons per minute across compact body profiles
Autonomous internal pressure balancing mechanism operates without external control

Brand Hydraulics Series 36 and Series 38 sectional directional valves

Brand Hydraulics Series 36 and Series 38 sectional directional valves assemble into custom multi-spool hydraulic manifolds accommodating up to twelve working sections. The modular architecture integrates manual levers, electromagnetic coils, and 36EFC proportional metering blocks.

Custom manifold assemblies supporting from one to twelve independent spool sections
Flexible integration of manual levers, cable linkages, and proportional solenoids
Parallel and series internal coring configurations for diverse circuit requirements
Port relief valves and anticavitation check valves protect downstream machine lines

Brand Hydraulics TS, MB, PLV monoblock valves and pressure relief devices

Brand Hydraulics monoblock directional control valves feature one-piece cast housings that eliminate external joint leakage under heavy hydraulic pressure. The lineup includes TS, MB, and PLV models alongside POR pilot-operated and RL direct-acting pressure relief mechanisms.

Solid one-piece ductile iron body endures hydraulic operating pressure up to 207 bar
Three-way, four-way, and six-way configurations with detent or spring-centered spools
Internal adjustable pilot-operated relief valves protect pumps and fluid conduits
Pilot check valves PC and shuttle valves SHV deliver positive actuator position hold

Brand Hydraulics EC controllers, wireless remote systems, and HP hand pumps

Brand Hydraulics EC and DEC electronic controllers generate regulated PWM signals to drive EFC proportional valves. Wireless radio remote systems V and RP provide flexible machinery operation, while HP manual hydraulic hand pumps provide reliable emergency auxiliary fluid power.

PWM electronic driver units EC-12 and EC20000 with minimum and maximum current tuning
Wireless radio remote controls V and RP series engineered for heavy duty mobile work
Dual-displacement manual hand pumps HP series for emergency power and calibration
Weatherproof electronic enclosures endure severe vibration, dust, and temperature

Brand Hydraulics manufacturing legacy and electro-hydraulic engineering

Brand Hydraulics Co. was established in 1956 in Omaha, Nebraska, by 1948 Olympic wrestling champion and engineer Glen Brand alongside his wife Mary Lou.

The engineering discipline and precision machining principles introduced by the founder laid the cornerstone for decades of growth in hydraulic fluid power technologies.

In 1997, the company expanded its production lines into proportional electro-hydraulics, introducing microprocessor electronic controllers and wiring harnesses.

Today the family-owned Omaha plant is led by Greg Brand, continuing a proud manufacturing heritage while supplying robust mobile equipment solutions worldwide.

Pressure compensation mechanism in FC series flow control valves

Brand Hydraulics FC51 and FCR51 variable flow controls maintain constant flow to hydraulic cylinders and motors despite fluctuating operating pressures.

A rotary lever adjusts the metering orifice area while an internal spring-loaded spool automatically redirects surplus volume into the bypass return port.

The hydrodynamic compensator responds to shifting load pressures, preventing actuator speed variation during complex machine work cycles. FCR models integrate a tunable pressure relief valve inside the main body, preventing destructive pressure spikes across the regulated hydraulic conduit.

Electronic proportional actuation principles in the EFC valve series

EFC proportional flow control valves combine the reliable hydro-mechanics of the FC51 model with modern electrical solenoid actuation.

A heavy-duty electromagnetic coil positions the metering spool proportionally in response to electrical current from twelve or twenty-four volt DC machine control units.

Retaining the proven FC51 spring and compensator architecture ensures repeatable fluid regulation and hydro-mechanical stability. An integrated manual override screw allows machine operators to mechanically reposition the internal spool during emergency vehicle electrical power loss.

Actuator synchronization using B50 and B100 proportional flow dividers

Brand Hydraulics B50 and B100 series spool flow dividers divide single inlet fluid streams into two isolated lines with accurate flow proportions. The units maintain an exact fifty-fifty ratio or custom specified distribution even when driven cylinders face uneven mechanical working resistance.

An internal balancing spool shifts dynamically to equalize output line pressures without requiring external sensors or electric controls. For bidirectional combining operations, the BG gear type divider series provides smooth division and combining for mobile platforms and boom lifts.

Modular architecture and assembly of Series 36 sectional stack valves

Series 36 and Series 38 sectional directional control valves assemble into versatile multi-spool hydraulic packages containing up to twelve working sections. The modular construction integrates inlet supply heads, individual work sections, and outlet return covers clamped by high-tensile tie rods.

Each work section is configured independently, allowing technicians to combine manual hand levers, remote cable linkages, electric on-off solenoids, and 36EFC proportional blocks. Internal port relief valves and anticavitation checks protect sensitive actuators from sudden pressure shocks.

Integration of EC microprocessor controllers and wireless radio systems

Brand Hydraulics EC-12 and EC20000 electronic driver modules generate regulated pulse-width modulated current to drive EFC proportional coils. Dual adjustment trim potentiometers enable independent tuning of minimum threshold current and maximum output limits to match joystick motion.

Wireless remote systems V and RP series empower heavy equipment operators to direct complex hydraulic booms and winches from a safe distance. For manual auxiliary backup, Brand manufactures HP series dual-displacement hand pumps built with ductile iron bodies for emergency fluid power.
