set up pressure – load pressure
ratio of control
The valve consists of a seat by-pass, relief valve fitted
with an auxiliary control with a differential piston and
by-pass single-way valve serving for reverse direction
of flow. The liquid is flowing through the single-way valve
from the channel (2) to the channel (1) with a small
pressure drop. In the opposite direction the single-way
valve on the rear side of which a gate valve seat is fitted
is pressed through the action of a spring and the load
pressure against the spring-loaded valve gate valve.
In this way the valve is nearly closed hermetically. If the
pressure in the channel (1) exceeds a set up value of the
spring force the gate valve is pressed out of the seat and
the overpressure in that case is relieved into channel (2).
For ensuring the function of holding the load the spring
force should be set up to a value by 30 % higher when
compared to an expected pressure exerted by the load.
If the load has to be moved it is possible to ensure it with
the help of so called auxiliary control from the channel (3)
by introducing already certain control pressure.
The control pressure is calculated in the following way:
Control pressure =
The ratio of control designates a ratio of surfaces of
the differential slide valve cross-section area and its seat.
Therefore, the necessary control pressure for opening
the valve does not correspond to the difference between
the set up pressure and load pressure however;
it correspon ds to the ratio of this difference
and the control ratio. In the formula as mentioned above
it is necessary to take into consideration that in
differential cylinders it is necessary to add to the control
ratio also the appropriate ratio of piston surfaces in the
direction of movement.
As soon as the control pressure attains a necessary
value the differential gate valve is moved out from
the seat and then the way from the channel (1) to
the channel (2) is released. If now the load tries to
accelerate and be fast as for the oil supply the supply
pressure decreases, therefore, also the control pressure
in the channel (3) is decreased. The spring force tries to
shut off the valve again, therefore, in consequence of
which the flow from the consumer decreases
and the inlet pressure to the consumer increases again.
In this way it is ensured a constant inlet pressure
by means of which the movement of the load can
be controlled.
Starting braking valves of SOD5A series cover the whole
range of the use of single-stage starting braking valves.
In addition to it, this valve exerts a counter pressure to
prevent from a sharp pressure drop at opening the valve.
In this way the valve makes a particularly sensitive
movement of consumers possible.
As for appropriate basic surface finish the external parts
are zinc coated.
