Stellar Industries 113696 Sun CEBC-LHN-3500 Counterbalance Valve

If you’re unsure whether this part is compatible with your truck or equipment, please contact us to confirm fitment before purchasing.

The Stellar Industries 113696 Counterbalance Valve is a Sun Hydraulics screw-in cartridge designed for load-holding and motion-control applications on compatible Stellar hydraulic equipment. Identified as CEBC-LHN-3500, it is set to approximately 3,500 PSI and uses Buna-N seals.

This pilot-assisted valve controls an overrunning hydraulic load while helping prevent uncontrolled cylinder movement. Its integrated check function permits free flow toward the actuator and meters return flow when pilot pressure is applied.

What This Part Is Used For

The Stellar 113696 valve holds a hydraulically operated crane component securely when the directional control is in neutral. During commanded movement, pilot pressure opens the valve in a controlled manner to provide stable lowering and positioning.

The valve also helps prevent sudden load movement if hydraulic pressure or a hose connection is lost.

Common Reasons For Replacement

Hydraulic cylinder drifts under load
Crane function lowers unexpectedly
Movement becomes jerky or unstable
Valve does not release with pilot pressure
Hydraulic function moves unusually slowly
Cartridge leaks externally
Internal valve seat is worn or contaminated
Load-holding performance has decreased
Adjustment mechanism is damaged
Valve is replaced during cylinder service
