Features
Full reverse flow from reduced pressure (port 1) to inlet (port 2) may cause the main spool to close. If reverse free flow is required in the circuit, consider adding a separate check valve to the circuit.
Minimum setting is 75 psi (5 bar) for all spring ranges.
Pilot operated valves exhibit exceptionally flat pressure/flow characteristics, are very stable and have low hysteresis.
Pressure at port 3 is directly additive to the valve setting at a 1:1 ratio and should not exceed 5000 psi (350 bar).
Recommended maximum inlet pressure is determined by the adjustment range. Ranges A, B, N, and Q are tested with a 3000 psi (210 bar) maximum differential between inlet and reduced pressure. Range W is tested with 5000 psi (350 bar) of inlet pressure.
Incorporates the Sun floating style construction to minimize the possibility of internal parts binding due to excessive installation torque and/or cavity/cartridge machining variations.
