GeneralRelief Valves are devices used to limit maximum pressure inhydraulic systems. When system pressure starts to exceedthe pressure setting of the Relief valve, a controlled amount ofhydraulic fluid bypasses through the tank port and limits thesystem pressure to the valve setting.

6 A fine incrementedadjustment assures precise regulation over wide Vickers Relief valve provides a fast response with very lowpressure override characteristics because of its two-stagebalance piston design. The balance piston Relief valve is sonamed because in normal operation it is in hydraulicbalance. Further details are discussed in Section Basic PartsRelief Valves consist of two sections: the cover section andthe body section. The cover section includes a pressureadjustment screw, a heavy spring, a poppet, a seat, and avent connection. The body section includes a piston, a lightspring, a seat, and the port III Principles of OperationA.

7 Pressure ReliefFigure 1 illustrates the basic valve operation. The valve pres-sure setting is determined by the adjusting screw positionwhich varies the heavy spring compression. The balancedpiston is normally held against the seat by the light pressure is present in chamber A and is connectedto chamber B through orifice closed position of the valve is shown in Figure 1A. Withsystem pressure less than the valve setting, the pilot poppetis held against its seat by spring force. Pressures in cham-bers A and B equalize through orifice C. Thus, the piston ishydraulically in balance and held against its seat by the Screw(System Pressure)ToTankACIn Figure 1B the valve is shown throttling fluid to the tankport.

8 This occurs when system pressure exceeds the heavyspring setting and forces the poppet away from its then flows through orifice C and chamber B, past thepoppet into chamber D, and down through the drain hole inthe center of the piston to the tank pressure in chamber B is limited by the setting of the heavyspring. When pressure in chamber A exceeds chamber B sufficiently, pressure unbalance overcomes the force of the light spring and lifts the piston. Excess fluid then flows pastthe bottom of the piston to the system pressure drops below the valve setting,thepoppet reseats.

9 Control flow through orifice C stops and pressures in chambers A and B are again light spring then forces the piston toward the seat whileorifice C continues to equalize pressure between chambersA and B. When the balance piston is closed against its seat,all flow through orifice C VentingThe High-Vent option ( V in the model code) is used whenit is necessary to maintain pilot pressure for other Valves inthe system. This option provides a faster valve de-venting(closing) action. Higher pressure (approximately 80 PSIG) ismaintained when the valve is vented because a heavierpiston spring is Valves can be vented to unload pump delivery to tank inthe following manner:Connect a shut-off valve to the vent port of the main Relief B above the Balanced piston can be opened to tank(see Figure 1B).

10 This removes pressure at the top of thebalanced piston. Pressure in chamber A overcomes the lightspring, unseats the Balanced piston, and diverts all pumpdelivery to solenoid controlled directional valve (C*5) may be used to vent flow to tank. This directional valve is mounted on top of a standard Relief valve to form a single package. See Figure Remote ControlThe main Relief valve may be adjusted from a remote locationby using another adjustable valve similar in function to themain Relief valve pilot stage (see Figure 2.) Flow past thepoppet of the remote control valve is directed to tank.
