1 Description
Series DBDRB-1L… proportional pressure-relief valves are
direct acting screw-in cartridges of sliding-spool design with
a 3/4-16 UNF mounting thread. With these pressure-relief
cartridges, the relief pressure is dependent on the electrical
control signal and can be continuously varied. When the
solenoid is de-energised (initial position), connection 2 1
is open and the minimum pressure (free flow) depends on
the flow rate. Any pressure at port 1 is additive to the valve
setting at port 2, therefore port 1 should preferably be con
nected directly to tank. In control mode, the relief pressure
is proportional to the change in the required value (amplifier
output current). In order to obtain precise pressure settings
over the whole of the required pressure range (optimum re
solution), the pressure relief cartridges are available in six
spring ranges. If a proportional solenoid is faulty, for
example, the integral manual pressure setting enables the
required pressure to be set mechanically. Proportional
pressure-relief cartridges are predominantly used in mobile
and industrial applications to allow a pressure in hydraulic
installations to be limited electro-proportionally. All external
parts of the cartridge are zinc-nickel plated to DIN 50979 –
solenoid coil are zinc plated, and are thus suitable for use
in the harshest operating environments. The slip-on coils
can be replaced without opening the hydraulic envelope
and can be positioned at any angle through 360°. If you in
tend to manufacture your own cavities or are designing a
line-mounting installation, please refer to the section “Rela
ted data sheets”.

screw (Item B). The procedure is as follows:
F Protective cap
G Air-bleed screw
Steps:
7. Remove the protective cap.
8. Slacken the air-bleed screw approx. 2 turns.
9. Switch the pressure-relief cartridge ON/OFF several
times until no more air bubbles escape.

6 Installation information
IMPORTANT!
To achieve the proportional pressure-relief car
tridge's maximum performance rating, fit the sole
noid coil as shown (with the plug pins at the bot
tom). When fitting the cartridges, note the moun
ting attitude (preferably vertical, with coil down
automatic air bleed) and use the specified tighte
ning torque. No adjustments are necessary, since
the cartridges are set in the factory.
ATTENTION!
To prevent any pressure surges, port 1 must be
routed to tank with the least possible back-pres
sure. Any tank pressure acting at port 1 is additive
to the pressure setting at the main port 2.
ATTENTION!
Only qualified personnel with mechanical skills
may carry out any maintenance work. Generally,
the only work that should ever be undertaken is to
check, and possibly replace, the seals. When
changing seals, oil or grease the new seals tho
roughly before fitting them.
7 Manual pressure setting
These proportional pressure-relief cartridges are equipped
as standard with an integral manual pressure setting. If a
proportional solenoid is faulty, for example, this manual
pressure setting enables the required pressure to be set
mechanically. This manual pressure setting is not designed
for adjusting the pressure in a dynamic control mode.

I Lock nut (13 A/F)
J Adjusting spindle for pressure setting
Setting the pressure manually
Steps:
1. Remove the protective cap.
2. Slacken the lock nut (13 A/F).
3. Screw in (turn to right) the adjusting spindle (4 A/F) until
the required pressure is set.
4. Tighten the lock nut (13 A/F).
5. Fit the protective cap.
ATTENTION!
To reset the proportional pressure-relief cartrid
ges to their initial position (the factory setting), a
constant flow rate (e.g. 1 l/min) and a pressure
gauge that measures the pressure in the main
port 2 are needed. The procedure is as follows:
Restoring the factory settings
Steps:
1. Solenoid de-energised.
2. Remove the protective cap.
3. Slacken the lock nut (13 A/F).
4. Unscrew the adjusting spindle (4 A/F) to its end-stop,
then screw it in until the pressure on the gauge just starts
to rise.
5. Unscrew the spindle again by:
350 bar = 1/4 of a turn
230, 160, 100 bar = 1/2 of a turn
63, 25 bar = 3/4 of a turn
6. Tighten the lock nut (13 A/F).
7. Fit the protective cap.
