Technical Features
Description
A screw-in, cartridge style, direct acting, poppet type,
normally closed hydraulic relief valve. It’s typically used
to protect hydraulic components from pressure transien-
ts. When the pressure at the Inlet (1) reaches the valve
setting, the valve starts to open to tank (2) throttling flow
to minimize the pressure rise. The innovative geometry of
the deflector provides in fact a very low rise rate, and the
poppet design guarantees great stability. The cartridge
offers quick response to load changes in hydraulic circuits
requiring low internal leakage as well as limited hystere-

used in crossover relief applications.
All external surfaces are zinc plated and corrosion-proof. All val-
ve parts are made of high strength steel. Poppet is hardened
and ground to guarantee minimal wear and to extend service life.
Adjustment screw cannot be backed out of the valve. Positive
stop prevents springs from going solid. Optional spring ranges
to 350 bar (5000 psi).
