Overview
Description
RV50-26X is a screw in, cartridge style, pilot operated (two stage), spool type hydraulic
relief valve, intended for use as a pressure limiting device in demanding hydraulic circuits
which require fast response and low hysteresis.
Operation
The RV50-26X blocks flow from port 1 to port 2 until sufficient pressure is present at port
1 to force the piloting relief off its seat, allowing the main (second stage) spool to shift,
opening port 1 to port 2.
note : this valve cannot be used in cross-over relief applications.
Features
Adjustments cannot be backed out of the valve.
Adjustments prohibit springs from going solid.
Hardened spool and cage for long life.
Rapid, smooth response to pressure changes.
Industry-common size.
