RVD50-20 Relief, Poppet-Type, High Pressure (RVD50-20)
A screw-in, cartridge-style, direct-acting, poppet-type, hydraulic relief valve intended for use as a pressure limiting device for common hydraulic circuit protection.
Product Operation
The RVD50-20 blocks flow from ➀ to ➁ until suffi cient pressure is present at ➀ to force the poppet from its seat.
The cartridge offers fast response to load changes in typical hydraulic circuits
requiring low hysteresis, low pressure rise and low internal leakage.
For cross-over applications, maximum recommended flow is 37.9 lpm (10 gpm)
and maximum pressure is 207 bar (3000 psi). See Ordering Table.
Product Features
• Adjustments cannot be backed out of the valve.
• Height of the adjuster does not change when the pressure setting is adjusted.
• Adjustment options A, B, and C: positive stops prevent springs from going solid.
• Hardened poppet and cage for long life.
• Optional spring ranges to 345 bar (5000 psi).
• Rapid response to pressure surges.
• Industry common cavity.
Product Ratings
Maximum Operating Pressure: 350 bar (5075 psi)
Flow: The Performance Chart illustrates flow handling capacity at maximum setting for each spring range option. Pressure rise will vary with spring (range) and with setting within range due to flow forces. Consult factory for specifi c flow characteristic values.
Internal Leakage: 0.25 cc/minute (5 drops/minute) max. to 80% of nominal setting
Crack (Set) Pressure Defi ned: bar (psi) evident at 0.95 lpm (0.25 gpm) attained
Reseat Pressure: Nominal 85% of crack pressure
Standard Spring Ranges: Due to manufacturing tolerances, it may be possible to adjust the valve either lower or higher than the nominal ratings shown below. Model Code
