Operation
1) Outline
When the LSPV (Load Sensing Proportioning Valve)
detects a change in load weight, the load sensing spring
stretches.
Its reaction force is transmitted to the bottom of the load
sensing valve to secure an optimum rear wheel cylinde
r
fluid pressure break point in proportion to the actual load
weight.
Besides, if the front brake system should fail, the device is
designed to prevent the master cylinder fluid pressure from
decreasing and to apply it directly to the rear wheel cylinde
r
to obtain a sufficient braking performance.

RTW35CSH001101

2) Bellow cutting point.
The Force (F) keeps the main piston (1) the rest position.
The inlet pressure (A) and outlet pressure (B) are the same
as well as the inlet pressure (C) from front master cylinder.
The bypass piston (2) is kept on rest position by equilibrium
of the pressures (A) and (C) and the bypass spring load (3).

RTW35CSH001201

3) Cutting point.
The cutting point is given by relation between force (F), tha
t
is the load applied by suspension of the vehicle and the
main piston area (1). The cutting point is achieved when the
force generated by hydraulic pressure is upper than the
force (F) given by the load suspension. The main piston (1)
moves from the rest position closing the valve. In this
moment the inlet pressure (A) is upper than the outle
t
pressure (B). The bypass piston (2) continues on the res
t
position by equilibrium of (A) and (C) pressure.
