This video will explain what a Safe Load Holding Valve is, where it can be used, and what options are available.

ROSS Safe Load Holding Valves traps pressure in order to hold an actuator in place when a safety event occurs and are often triggered with production related safety input devices are triggered.

Multiple Safe Load Holding solutions are available ranging from standard control valves with no safety rating to PO Check Valves with a safety rating up to CAT 3 and Safe Control & Hold Valves capable of CAT 4.

A single failure with a standard control valve such as a broken spring or sticking spool leads to the loss of control and is not detectable.

Safe Load Holding Valves are often used on cylinder presses with multiple input devices to prevent crushing or pinching hazards.

ROSS offers the largest port selection in the industry from 1/8" to 11/2".

The type of load holding valve will depend on whether you have basic safety relays, safety controllers, or safety PLC's.
