Functional Description
Pressure relief valves VPN2 are pilot operated pressure
valves designed for system pressure limitation.
The pressure adjustment is controled by the adjustment
screw (4). In its basic state, the valve is closed. The
pressure acts on the face area of the control spool (1) and at
the same time through orifice (2) on the control spool rear
side, which is preloaded by a spring and further on through
orifice (3) on the pilot valve ball (6).
When the increasing system pressure reaches the value,
which is preset by spring (5), the valve opens and the
control flow passes through the pilot valve. The spool area
which is preloaded by spring becomes relieved, the spool
control edge opens the radial bores in bushing (7) and the
fluid passes from port P to T. The control flow is routed
through slot (8) to port T.
When an accurate pressure control, which does not
depend on pressure variations in port T, is required, the
model "Y" with external port for pilot flow is to be used.
If a relieving of the valve on a lower pressure as that set up
by the spring (5) is needed, the model with port "X" (10) is to
be used.
The basic surface treatment of the valve body and the
adjustment screw are zinc coated.
