Load sensing valves play a crucial role in enhancing brake pressure in automobiles and various machinery by adjusting to the load mounted on the vehicle. Commonly employed in open circuits of automobiles, these valves detect pressure downstream of load-induced pressure on an orifice. They then modify pump flow to uphold a constant pressure across the aperture, using a directional control valve with proportional flow characteristics.

The load sensing valves market covered in this report is segmented by product into pressure pre-compensated load sensing valves, flow-sharing load sensing valves, and other products. Pressure pre-compensated load sensing valves are utilized in hydraulic applications to uphold a constant pressure drop across the valve. These valves involve a variable pump in an open circuit on an orifice to maintain constant pressure, irrespective of the pressure across the orifice and the load pressure on the system. They find application in various sectors, including construction machinery, agricultural machinery, municipal machinery, mining and coal machinery, forestry machinery, and other diverse applications.
