PPFB8

Pilot-operated, pressure reducing/relieving main stage with integral T-8A control

cavity

SERIES 2 / CAPACITY: 80 L/min. / CAVITY: T-2A

NOTE: DATA MAY VARY BY CONFIGURATION. SEE CONFIGURATION SECTION.

This valve is a 3-way, normally open modulating element that incorporates an integral pilot control cavity. The pilot

control cavity will accept any T-8A pressure control cartridge. The valve reduces a high primary pressure at the inlet

(port 2) to a constant reduced pressure at port 1, with a full flow relief function from port 1 to tank (port 3). The pilot

cartridge's setting determines the difference in pressure between reduced pressure (port 1) and the tank (port 3).

TECHNICAL FEATURES

Pressure at port 3 is directly additive to the valve setting at a 1:1 ratio and should not exceed 3000 psi (210 bar).

Maximum pressure at port 3 should be limited to 3000 psi (210 bar).

Pilot operated valves exhibit very low dead-band transition between reducing and relieving modes.

Pilot operated valves exhibit exceptionally flat pressure/flow characteristics, are very stable and have low hysteresis.

Maximum inlet pressure is determined by the bias spring. The D spring is tested with 2000 psi (140 bar) maximum differential pressure and the W spring is tested

with 5000 psi (350 bar) maximum inlet pressure.

NOTE: With the -8 control option, the main stage valve should first be installed to the correct torque value. The T-8A pilot control valve should then be installed into

the main stage valve to its required torque value.

The -8 control option allows the pilot control valve to be incorporated directly into the end of the relief cartridge via the T-8A cavity. These pilot control cartridges are

sold separately and include electro-proportional, solenoid, air pilot, and hydraulic pilot operation. See Pilot Control Cartridges.

Cartridges configured with EPDM seals are for use in systems with phosphate ester fluids. Exposure to petroleum based fluids, greases and lubricants will damage

the seals.

Full reverse flow from reduced pressure (port 1) to inlet (port 2) may cause the main spool to close. If reverse free flow is required in the circuit, consider adding a

separate check valve to the circuit.

All three-port pressure reducing and reducing/relieving cartridges are physically interchangeable (i.e. same flow path, same cavity for a given frame size). When

considering mounting configurations, it is sometimes recommended that a full capacity return line (port 3) be used with reducing/relieving cartridges.

Incorporates the Sun floating style construction to minimize the possibility of internal parts binding due to excessive installation torque and/or cavity/cartridge

machining variations.
