The Relief Valve is a type of pressure relief valve that is made from steel components. It is designed to prevent excessive pressure buildup in a hydraulic system by allowing excess fluid to be diverted from the system and released back to the reservoir or another low-pressure area. The relief valve maintains a predetermined pressure level in the hydraulic system by opening and allowing fluid to escape when the pressure surpasses a set threshold. Once the pressure returns to a safe level, the relief valve closes, preventing further fluid flow. This process ensures that the system operates within safe pressure limits.
Attributes:
• Adjustable to a specific pressure threshold, allowing it to open and release excess fluid when the system pressure surpasses the set limit
• Prevents overpressure situations that could lead to equipment damage
• Ensure controlled fluid flow, preventing sudden pressure hikes and maintaining consistent operation
• Withstands high pressures and maintain reliability in demanding hydraulic environments
Application:
This Relief Valve is used in hydraulic manifolds with speed control valves to safeguard the system by releasing excess pressure and maintaining safe operating conditions.
