PRESSURE CONTROLS
RV50-28 Relief, Pilot-Operated w/Reverse Check
DESCRIPTION
A screw-in, cartridge-style, pilot-operated, two-stage, hydraulic relief valve with
reverse flow check valve. It is intended for use as a pressure limiting device in
demanding hydraulic circuits which require fast response, low hysteresis, low leak-
age, low pressure overshoot and reverse free flow features.
OPERATION
The RV50-28 blocks flow from 1 to 2 until sufficient pressure is present at 1 to force
the pilot stage open, allowing the main stage to shift, opening 1 to 2.
The relief flow path is from 1 to 2. Reverse flow, from 2 to 1, occurs when the
pressure at 2 is at least 2.1 bar (30 psi) higher than at port 1.
FEATURES
Adjustments cannot be backed out of the valve.
Hardened spool and cage for long life.
Fast response.
Industry common cavity.
