• DESCRIPTION
Cross-line, relief valves for motion control, anti-shock and anti-cavitation, line mounting. Cartridge construction and connection for hydraulic brakes
release.
• OPERATION
The oil flow is allowed from D1 (D2) to U1 (U2) and is stopped in the opposite way from U1 (U2) to D1 (D2) up to the spring setting value. Free oil flow
from U1 (U2) to D1 (D2) is strictly possible when the pilot pressure in D2 and U2 (D1 and U1) is strong enough to pilot the valve poppet.
Use the following formula to assert the applicable pilot pressure:
(valve setting – load pressure) ÷ pilot ratio = pilot pressure
For example:
If your pilot ratio is 1:4, your setting pressure is 250 bar and your load pressure is 130 bar, then you will need 30 bar pilot pressure in order to displace
the load. [(250 bar – 130 bar) ÷ 4 = 30 bar)].
Counterpressure in D1 (D2) increase the setting value (1:1 ratio) of the poppet spring and negatively affect the pilot pressure (1:1 ratio).
Use of two check-valves between D1 (D2) and T avoids cavitation on the pressure line during relief operation. To obtain immediate valve response
and no pressure drop, preferably mount this valve next to the application to check.
Lack of overcenter stability and troublesome motion even after complete valve assembly, will suggest that the valve application may require a PG
version. Please contact our technical service for action. Use of a special shuttle valve allows for release of hydraulic parking brakes.
• PERFORMANCE
Maximum flow: 70 l/min
Maximum Pressure:
− Aluminium body 210 bar
− Steel body 350 bar
Application range with standard springs:
− 5 - 210 bar (test setting: 170 bar at 5 l/min)
− 50 - 350 bar (test setting: 280 bar at 5 l/min)
