Damper Valve

The damper valve is incorporated in the control valve body and is placed in the fluid passage at between the rotary control valve and the power cylinder chamber. Since the damper valve limits rapid flow of fluid caused by external force, the steering stability in straight forward direction is improved and kickback is reduced.
