PVBM – Meter-in/Meter-out
![]() |
Get control of return flow with the Sauer-Danfoss PVBM valve module – the only smartly integrated solution on the market.
Our meter-in/meter-out module, PVBM, is designed to give you outstanding control – independent of positive or negative load.
Features and Benefits
- Modular PVG 32 concept – enables propel and work functions in one PVG
- One meter-in compensator providing precise and constant flow for uphill driving.
- Two additional compensators are integrated in the module design allowing for compensated return flow on each port
- Smooth braking control for open circuit propel systems
- The integrated PVBM solution provides installation benefits
The Meter-in/Meter-out Principle
The principle of meter-in/out relates to controlling the oil flow to and from the motors that drive the machine
- The Meter-in compensator controls the flow that is going to the transmission motors
- The Meter-out compensators control the flow coming from the transmission motors
When using the PVBM to control propel function in an aerial lift application or similar open circuit propel system, the special module design will allow for smooth control of the propel system during uphill (positive load), and downhill driving (negative load).
Target Applications
Open circuit propel systems:
Increased performance and installation benefits by combining all your work functions and propel function into one PVG stack.
Winch applications:
Maximum operator control benefit by controlling both the wheel-in and wheel-out speed.
