A Flight Control System Manufacturer selected a competitor company’s 281 Pressure Relief valve for an actuator. The valve’s proved to have an instability issue causing the system manufacturer to 100% test and sort valves in-house.

AUSCO responded with a valve design that incorporates a damper function, a design that has been used by AUSCO for decades, while meeting the same envelope requirement.

Huge cost savings in eliminating 100% inspect and sort, and greater performance of an overall system with a quiet stable relief valve. AUSCO Damped Relief Valves are ideal for systems susceptible to instability, such as flight control systems.
