Pressure Control

Ventable, pilot-operated, anti shock relief cartridges limit maximum system pressure and also limit the rate of pressure rise. The valve opens and then ramps closed at a constant speed, independent of settings and flows. These 3 port valves include a vent port (port 3) that connects between the main piston and the pilot stage to provide for remote control by other pilot or 2-way valves. The adjust screw determines the maximum (relief) setting and the minimum (threshold) setting.

• Because the modulating occurs inside the cartridge, these valves are immune to most of the problems associated with cavitation, namely noise and manifold erosion.
• Will accept maximum pressure at port 2; suitable for use in cross port relief circuits.
• A remote pilot relief on port 3 (vent) will control the valve below its own setting.
• Not suitable for use in load holding applications.
• When pressure at the inlet (port 1) exceeds the threshold setting, the valve opens to tank (port 2). The pilot section moves forward at a steady rate, increasing the setting by compressing the pilot spring. Maximum setting is achieved when the pilot section reaches a mechanical stop.
• Valve provides protection for hydrostatic drives by reducing the jerk caused by sudden reversals. The valve is suitable for cross-port applications.
• When used with a switching device, the valve can provide the ramp characteristic typically provided by proportional valves.
• Small power units can be started against an anti shock relief to provide longer pump life.
• Back pressure on the tank port (port 2) is directly additive to the valve setting at a 1:1 ratio.
• The main stage orifice is protected against contamination.
• Incorporates the Sun floating style construction to minimize the possibility of internal parts binding due to excessive installation torque and/or cavity/cartridge machining variations.
