6.  Remote pressure compensator, 
codes ...MRC, ...MR1 and ...MRZ
The remote pressure compensators code ...MR* 
are equipped with a remote control port. To this 
port external pilot valves can be connected. The 
distance between pump and pilot valve can be up 
to 15 m. The pilot line should be designed, to avoid 
pressure losses.
Especially at low environmental temperatures a 
too narrow pilot line can result in a significant pres-
sure increase. The nominal pilot flow is in the range of  
1.2 to 1.4 l/min. 
Beside the version shown above (code ...MRC) 
also a version ...MR1 with a topside NG6 / D03 inter-
face is available as well as a version ...MRZ without 
integrated pilot valve for the use with compensator 
accessories code PVAC... .
For the compensators with code ...MM* and 
...MR* the pilot pressure pressure supply is main-
tained through an orifice located in the control spool.

The load sensing or flow compensator primarily 
controls the pump output flow. To achieve this the 
load pressure after a main stream throttle valve (load 
sensing valve, not included in the shipment of the 
pump) is connected to the load sensing port of the 
compensator. The compensator control strategy is, 
to keep the pressure drop constant across this main 
stream throttle valve.
The integrated pilot valve maintains a pressure 
compensation when the adjusted max. pressure is 
reached. The pilot orifice Ø 0,8 mm is located in the 
load sensing port adapter. This orifice replaces the 
orifice in the control spool of the ...MM* and ...MR* 
compensators, because pilot pressure is in the load 
sensing compensator provided through the load 
sensing line.

Load sensing and pressure compensators only dif-
ferentiate by the control spool and by the location of 
the pilot orifice.
Beside the version shown above (code ...MFC) also 
a version ...MF1 with a topside NG6 / D03 interface 
is available as well as a version ...MFZ without 
integrated pilot valve for the use with compensator 
accessories code PVAC... .
