  • Aircraft Systems
DEF

A valve used in liquid-powered systems to allow normal speed of operation in one direction and limited speed in another.

CONT

An orifice check valve may be included in a hydraulic landing gear actuator system. When the gear is raised, the check valve allows full fluid flow to lift the heavy gear at maximum speed. When lowering the gear, the orifice in the check valve prevents the gear from violently dropping by restricting fluid flow out of the actuating cylinder.
