Differential Sensing Valve 94616GT / 94616 (160 PSI) – Optimized Product Page Content

🔹 Product Overview
The Differential Sensing Valve with Genie part numbers 94616GT and 94616 is a highly specialized hydraulic component used in the control systems of various Genie Aerial Work Platforms (AWP). This valve is classified as a differential sensing valve (sometimes referred to as a flow divider or pressure compensator). Its function is to compare and react to pressure differences within two distinct hydraulic circuits. A key feature of this specific component is its 160 PSI setting, which likely dictates the pressure threshold at which the valve modulates or shifts.
This valve is essential in sophisticated hydraulic systems where two related functions must maintain a predictable relationship, such as ensuring that two hydraulic motors (like wheel motors) receive roughly equal flow regardless of load differences, or that a priority circuit maintains its flow rate. The part number 94616GT is the necessary replacement for addressing issues such as uneven drive speed, steering drift, or instability in systems where two parallel functions are not working in sync.
🔹 Key Features & Benefits
✅ Differential Sensing: Reacts to and controls flow/pressure based on the pressure difference between two circuits.
✅ 160 PSI Setting: Precisely calibrated to a 160 PSI differential pressure threshold for reliable system modulation.
✅ Flow/Pressure Balancing: Essential for maintaining balanced flow/force in parallel circuits (e.g., drive or steer systems).
✅ Direct OEM Cross-Reference: High-quality aftermarket equivalent for Genie part numbers 94616GT and 94616.
