RVID8

Ventable, pilot-operated, balanced piston relief main stage with integral T-8A

control cavity and drain to port 4

SERIES 4 / CAPACITY: 480 L/min. / CAVITY: T-24A

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

This valve is a normally closed modulating element that incorporates an integral pilot control cavity. It is ventable,

externally drained, and is a balanced piston design. The pilot control cavity will accept any T-8A pressure control

cartridge. When the pressure at the inlet (port 1) reaches the pilot control cartridge setting, the modulating element

starts to open to tank (port 2), throttling flow to regulate the pressure. The pilot cartridge's setting determines the

difference in pressure between the inlet (port 1) and the drain (port 4). The vent port (port 3) that tees in between

the main piston and pilot control cartridge, allows the modulating element to also be controlled by remote pilot or 2-

way valves.

TECHNICAL FEATURES

Will accept maximum pressure at port 2; suitable for use in cross port relief circuits.

Main stage orifice is protected by a 150-micron stainless steel screen.

Not suitable for use in load holding applications due to spool leakage.

Pressure at port 4 is directly additive to the valve setting at a 1:1 ratio and should not exceed 5000 psi (350 bar).

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.

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.
