McNeilus Hydraulic Counter Balance Valve

McNeilus Hydraulic Counter Balance Valve

This McNeilus hydraulic counterbalance valve (OEM part number 0108116) is a critical safety and motion-control component for rear discharge mixers. It is primarily used within the hydraulic control block for the Bridgemaster load-distributing tag axle, specifically fitting into the rod end block. The valve functions by trapping hydraulic fluid to hold the pressurized load in place when the directional control valve is centered, preventing the Bridgemaster arm from dropping unexpectedly. It also provides controlled lowering by requiring a pilot pressure signal to open, ensuring the load does not move faster than the pump can supply oil. Replacing a worn or leaking counterbalance valve is essential to maintain the stability and safety of the mixer's hydraulic tag axle system.
