The pressure valves VRN2 are pilot operated screw-in
cartridge pressure reducing valves designed as 3 way
valves, i.e. with pressure protection of the secondary
circuit. For the use in vertical stacking assemblies, two
models of valve bodies are available, with pressure
reduction in ports A and P. Incorporated into the valve
bodies MA are the check valves which enable the
reverse flow to pass through the valve.
The reducing valve consists of a cartridge (1) with thread
M22x1.5, control spool (2), spring (3) and the
adjustment element (4). With the models for stacking
assemblies also the respective valve body (5) and
alternatively a check valve (6) complete the valve.
Screw-in cartridge valve
The flow from the primary circuit flows to the first
metering edge, where its pressure is reduced. The
reduced pressure corresponds with the adjustment of
the control spring of the ball pilot valve. The reduced
pressure is continuously controlled and compared with
the pressure preset. If any control error appears, the
respective control action takes place and the reduced
pressure returns to its preset value. After the pressure
reduction, the fluid flows through the spool bore and is
then routed to the output port of the module valve body.
If pressure behind the valve increases due to the effect
of external load acting on the user, the control spool
shifts further against the spring, the reducing metering
edge closes and the second metering edge opens. The
fluid passes through the „third way“ to port T. The
control flow of the pilot valve (from the spring room) is
also routed to port T.
Model MA
With this model, the flow enter into the valve body
through port A1. The input pressure is reduced, routed
to port A2 and further to the user. The reverse flow
passes through a check valve which is connected
parallel to the metering edge.
Model MP
With the model MP, the pressure is reduced from port P2
to port P1.
With all models, a control pressure gauge can be
connected to port G 1/4 (7).
The valve body and the adjustment screw are zinc
coated. With model M the valve bodies are phosphate
coated.
