Pressure relief valves
Catalogue HY17-8702/UK
The PLC series auxiliary valves are direct-
acting, factory-set pressure relief valves of
the cartridge type that can be supplied with
or without a threaded plug. They can also
be supplied with housings to facilitate in-
line installation.
PLC valves are intended primarily to
act as combined pressure-relief and anti-
cavitation valves - otherwise known as port
relief valves - in the service ports of our
directional valves. However, they can also
be used to advantage in other situations
where pressure relief valves in this size
range are required. Indeed, PLC cartridge
valves are purchased in great quantities
by several of the world’s leading pump and
transmission manufacturers.
Construction and function
PLC pressure relief valves are made of
high-strength steel and consist of a seat,
poppet, spring and nut. After the pressure
setting has been made, the damper nut is
locked against the poppet by welding, in
order to prevent the factory-set opening
value from changing. When the cartridge is
supplied with a plug, a spring is included to
enable the cartridge to function as an anti-
cavitation valve. An anti-cavitation valve is
essentially a check valve that enables oil
to be sucked from the tank line in order to
prevent cavitation in a consumer. The plug
is fitted with an O-ring of nitrile rubber.
Poppets without a pressure relief func-
tion are also available. They are used when
only a ‘check valve’ is required to perform
an anti-cavitation function.
Technical data
Flow capacity
The flow capacities of the respective PLC
valves are dependent on the extent of
pressure increment that can be accepted,
and are illustrated in the typical graphs
that begin overleaf. The nominal flow
capacities , however, are as follows:
PLC053 50 l/min
PLC082 80 l/min
PLC182 180 l/min
PLC280 280 l/min
Pressure-setting flow
As standard, the desired pressure is set
with a flow of 20 l/min passing through the
pressure relief valve. The exception is the
PLC053, for which the pressure setting
is made with a flow of 10 l/min passing
through the valve.
Weights
PLC053 0,06 kg
PLC082 0,11 kg
PLC182 0,165 kg
PLC280 0,39 kg
The PLC valves are all supplied with a
threaded plug.
Housing for PLC082 cartridge
(inclusive of cartridge) 1,6 kg
Housing for two PLC082 cartridges
(inclusive of cartridges) 2,8 kg
Hydraulic fluids
Best performance is obtained using
mineral-base oil of high quality and clean-
ness in the hydraulic system.
Hydraulic fluids of type HLP (DIN
51524), oil for automatic gearboxes Type A
and engine oil type API CD can be used.
Synthetic, fire-resistant and environ-
mentally friendly oils can also be used. If in
doubt about the suitability of an oil, please
contact your nearest Parker representative
for advice.
For best function, oil viscosity should
be between 15 and 45 mm
2
/s (cSt).
