We can assist you with the parts you need to keep your equipment safe.
A hydraulic pressure relief valve is an integral part of hydraulic systems that keeps the system from being damaged or breaking down due to too much pressure. By controlling pressure and keeping it from exceeding set limits, these valves ensure the hydraulic system continues to work correctly. At Dalton Hydraulic, we have over 20 years of experience in the industry, and we offer essential components for your needs.
The primary job of the hydraulic pressure relief valve is to control and limit the highest pressure in a hydraulic system. The relief valve opens to redirect fluid and lower the pressure in the system to a safe level when the pressure goes over the set limit. Since hydraulic systems are often put through different loads and situations, the relief valve keeps the system’s parts, like pumps, hoses, and motors, from getting damaged by too much pressure.
Typically, a hydraulic pressure relief valve is spring-loaded. The push from the spring keeps the valve shut. When the system pressure goes above the set point, it pushes the spring open to release the valve. However, spring-loaded is only one of the types available. A hydraulic pressure relief valve may also have a poppet valve. As the pressure inside the valve changes, a poppet or piston moves. When the pressure exceeds the set limit, the poppet pushes against its seat and relieves it. Our team can explore these options and others you might have when discussing your needs.
Hydraulic pressure relief valves are used in many fields where hydraulic systems are used, such as manufacturing, building, agriculture, and aerospace. Their ability to control and limit pressure keeps the equipment and those working with hydraulic equipment safe.
