RVC0.S10 Valve Series
SAE10 Cartridge - 350 bar
Direct acting - Poppet type
Technical Features
Description
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). Industry common cavity.
A screw-in, cartridge style, direct acting, poppet
type, normally closed hydraulic relief valve. It’s
typically used to protect hydraulic components
from pressure transients. When the pressure at the
Inlet (1) reaches the valve setting, the valve star-
ts 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 hysteresis. NOTE: the RVC0 in the
