HALE HAMILTON GLD15MK7/HYD – Hydraulic Regulator

Overview:

Precision Pressure Control for Hydraulic Systems

The Hale Hamilton GLD15MK7/HYD Hydraulic Regulator is part of the 2815 Series spring-loaded regulators, engineered for high-pressure liquid and hydraulic fluid control. Designed for use in industrial systems requiring precise pressure regulation, this model provides reliability and robust performance across a wide range of pressure conditions. 

A hydraulic regulator like the GLD15MK7/HYD ensures that downstream components receive fluid at a consistent, controlled pressure, protecting equipment from overpressure damage, improving system stability, and enhancing overall performance. 

Key Features & Specifications

• Model: GLD15MK7/HYD hydraulic regulator

• Manufacturer: Hale Hamilton 

• Function: Pressure regulation for hydraulic fluid and liquid media

• Minimum Outlet Pressure: 25 psi

• Maximum Outlet Pressure: 850 psi (approx 1.5–58.6 bar) 

• Flow Factor (Cv): 0.08 – for precise control in low flow and test conditions 

• Process Port Size: 3/8″ FNPT 

• Body Material: 316 Stainless Steel – high resistance to corrosion and aggressive environments 

• Maximum Inlet Pressure: Up to 690 bar (10,000 psi) for liquid applications 

• Outlet Range: Configurable between 1.5–58 bar (approx 25–850 psi) depending on setpoint 

• Construction: Spring-loaded internal mechanism for stable performance and repeatability under load 

This regulator uses a spring-loaded design with internal sensing to maintain the selected outlet pressure regardless of fluctuations in inlet hydraulic pressure. 

Operating Principle

The GLD15 series like GLD15MK7/HYD employs a spring-loaded diaphragm and valve assembly that adjusts internal flow to maintain downstream pressure at a setpoint. As downstream flow demand changes, the regulator responds dynamically to keep the outlet pressure within tight tolerances, ensuring system stability. 

Because of the 0.08 Cv rating, this model is optimized for low-to-moderate flow hydraulic circuits where accurate pressure control is essential — such as test stands, pilot systems, and specialized hydraulic equipment. 

Industrial Applications

The Hale Hamilton GLD15MK7/HYD Hydraulic Regulator is suitable for a wide range of hydraulic and industrial fluid applications including:

• Hydraulic test rigs and calibration systems

• Process control and instrumentation loops requiring precise downstream pressure control

• Hydraulic supply manifolds with sensitive equipment

• Pressure limiting in pneumatic/hydraulic interfaces

• Liquid pressure regulation in industrial automation systems

Its robust construction and wide pressure range make it a dependable solution in refining, petrochemical, power generation, and heavy machinery systems where stable hydraulic pressure is critical. 

FAQ

What is a hydraulic regulator?

A hydraulic regulator is a device that maintains a consistent fluid pressure at the outlet despite variations in inlet pressure or flow, ensuring downstream equipment operates within safe and optimal conditions. 

What fluids can the GLD15MK7/HYD handle?

This model is designed for hydraulic fluids and other compatible liquids — performance depends on fluid viscosity and cleanliness but is typically used in industrial fluid systems. 

How does the spring-loaded design help?

The spring and diaphragm system automatically adjusts the valve position to maintain the set outlet pressure, offering fast response and stable control without external power. 

Is the body material important?

Yes — the 316 stainless steel body ensures excellent corrosion resistance for hydraulic and process fluids, extending service life in challenging environments.
