Compact products are increasing in popularity, but many manufacturers struggle to squeeze hydraulic components into smaller and smaller housings. The Lee Company offers a range of valves with additional functionality for applications when a basic flow restrictor is not enough to meet this need. As with most Lee valves, they are robust products with precise performance in miniature, lightweight envelopes. They are available in a variety of sizes and configurations to meet the specific needs of an application.
Lee restrictor check valves combine the function of a restrictor in series with a check valve into one miniature package. This provides considerable size and weight savings with no loss in performance. Lee directional flow controls provide metered flow in one direction and free flow in the opposite direction. Lastly, dual metering flow controls offer different metered flow rates in each direction. By contrast, Lee Floserts – while still incredibly small and lightweight – provide a constant flow over a wide range of differential pressures by incorporating both fixed and variable metering orifices.
In short, Lee flow metering valves generally combine the function of two components in a single package. Still, they can provide functionality that’s greater than the sum of its composite parts. No matter which component you choose, Lee flow metering valves are robust, reliable products offering precise performance in miniature, lightweight envelopes. They are available in a variety of sizes and configurations to meet your needs.
If nothing off the shelf is perfect, over half of the products we supply are designed for the unique needs of a specific application. Flow metering valves can be designed in custom envelopes and configurations with customized pressure and flow rates, leakage specifications, materials, and more.
