Скачать или смотреть Maxon Valve Explained — Submersible Pump Unit Review & Adjustment Overview

In this video, The Elevator Consultants reviews a submersible pump unit equipped with a Maxon valve, one of the most common and reliable valves used in hydraulic elevators today. We discuss why the Maxon valve is prevalent, how it performs, and what adjustments are typically needed to bring the elevator up to OEM ride standards.
We also evaluate the specific elevator ride quality during this visit, noting areas where the jerk rate and up-run speed require adjustment. The Maxon valve allows for precise fine-tuning, making it a preferred choice across many service companies and modernization projects.

CRITICAL TAKEAWAYS
The Maxon valve is one of the most prevalent valves in the industry

It is known for reliability, ease of adjustment, and performance consistency

High jerk rate or incorrect up-run speed are common and fixable with proper tuning

Submersible pump units remain widely used, even on modern hydraulic elevators

TEC audits identify issues and guide contractors toward proper calibration


PROFESSIONAL INSIGHT
The Maxon valve’s popularity comes from its ease of adjustability. Whether correcting jerk rate, improving ride quality, or tuning speeds to OEM specs, this valve gives mechanics precise control over hydraulic performance. In the unit we assessed, the ride was slightly outside the tolerance we prefer, but well within the range of what the Maxon valve can easily correct.
For building owners, proper valve adjustment is essential. A well-tuned valve reduces wear, improves leveling, and provides passengers with a smoother ride.
