Proportional Pressure-Relief Cartridge Valve, Size... Q max = l/min (6 gpm), p max = bar (58 psi) Direct acting, electrically operated Description proportional pressure-relief valves are direct acting screw-in cartridges of sliding-spool design with a 3/-6 UNF mounting thread. With these pressure-relief cartridges, the relief pressure is dependent on the electrical control signal and can be continuously varied. When the solenoid is de-energised (initial position), connection is open and the minimum pressure (free flow) depends on the flow rate. Any pressure at port is additive to the valve setting at port, therefore port should preferably be connected directly to tank. In control mode, the relief pressure is proportional to the change in the required value (amplifier output current). In order to obtain precise pressure settings over the whole of the required pressure range (optimum resolution), the pressure relief cartridges are available in six Compact construction for cavity type AL 3/-6 UNF Operated by a proportional solenoid In a power failure, the pressure setting drops to the minimum value 6 pressure ranges available All exposed parts with zinc-nickel plating High pressure wet-armature solenoids The slip-on coil can be rotated, and it can be replaced without opening the hydraulic envelope With integral manual pressure setting Can be fitted in a line-mounting body spring ranges. If a proportional solenoid is faulty, for example, the integral manual pressure setting enables the required pressure to be set mechanically. Proportional pressure-relief cartridges are predominantly used in mobile and industrial applications to allow a pressure in hydraulic installations to be limited electro-proportionally. All external parts of the cartridge are zinc-nickel plated to DIN 5 979 and are thus suitable for use in the harshest operating environments. The slip-on coils can be replaced without opening the hydraulic envelope and can be positioned at any angle through 36.

6 Installation information IMPORTANT! To achieve the proportional pressure-relief cartridge's maximum performance rating, fit the solenoid coil as shown (plug socket downwards or to the valve end.). When fitting the cartridges, note the mounting attitude (preferably vertical, with coil down " automatic air bleed) and use the specified tightening torque. No adjustments are necessary, since the cartridges are set in the factory. Only qualified personnel with mechanical skills may carry out any maintenance work. Generally, the only work that should ever be undertaken is to check, and possibly replace, the seals. When changing seals, oil or grease the new seals thoroughly before fitting them. To prevent any pressure surges, port must be routed to tank with the least possible back-pressure. Any tank pressure acting at port is additive to the pressure setting at the main port. 7 Manual pressure setting The proportional pressure relief cartridges are equipped with manual emergency pressure adjustment as standard. This allows the desired pressure value to be set mechanically, e.g. in the event of failure of the electrical control or the proportional solenoid. The emergency pressure setting is not intended for adjusting pressure values in solenoid operation and must then be reset to the factrory setting. IMPORTANT! Any changes to the manual emergency pressure setting have a direct effect on the factory settings. Setting the pressure manually Steps:. Remove the protective cap.. Slacken the lock nut (3 A/F). 3. Screw in (turn to right) the adjusting spindle ( A/F) until the required pressure is set.. Tighten the lock nut (3 A/F). 5. Fit the protective cap. H I J E D 3 MA = [Nm] ± % (7 ft lbs ± %) C Protective cap Lock nut (3 A/F) Adjusting spindle for pressure setting To reset the proportional pressure-relief cartridges to their initial position (the factory setting), a constant flow rate (e.g. l/min) and a pressure gauge that measures the pressure in the main port are needed. The procedure is as follows: Restoring the factory settings Steps:. Solenoid de-energised.. Remove the protective cap. 3. Slacken the lock nut (3 A/F).. Unscrew the adjusting spindle ( A/F) to its end-stop, then screw it in until the pressure on the gauge just starts to rise. 5. Unscrew the spindle again by: 35 bar = / of a turn 3, 6, bar = / of a turn 63, 5 bar = 3/ of a turn 6. Tighten the lock nut (3 A/F). 7. Fit the protective cap. -P-585-EN-/.8 5/6
