Abstract (en)

A pressure balancing valve for two cylinders operated in parallel, comprising: a main conduit (21, 22) predisposed to be connected to a first cylinder (31) and to connect to a balancing conduit (40) connected to a second cylinder (32); an obturator (3), interposed between a first tract (21) and a second tract (22) of the main conduit (21, 22), which is mobile between a closed position, in which the first tract and the second tract of the main conduit (21,22) are not in mutual communication and the main conduit (21, 22) is interrupted, and an open position, in which the first tract and the second tract of the main conduit (21, 22) are in mutual communication; thrust means (4), predisposed to push the obturator (3) towards the closed position; piloting means (5, 6), predisposed to push the obturator (3) towards the open position, which comprise a first piloting conduit (5) that places the second tract (22) of the main conduit (21, 22) in communication with a thrust surface of the obturator (3), such that the pressure internally of the tract of the second tract (22) of the main conduit (21, 22) exerts a force which acts on the thrust surface of the obturator (3) in order to push the obturator (3) towards the open position.
