HYDRAULIC PRESSURE CONTROL VALVES

 

Parker offers hydraulic needle valves for speed controls on hydraulic and pneumatic systems where a reverse flow check is not needed. They provide excellent control and a reliable shutoff in a very small envelope. A two-step needle allows fine adjustment at low flow by using the first three turns of the adjusting knob. The next three turns open the valve to full flow, and also provide standard throttling adjustments.

Function:
PRDM valves are “normally open” devices that allow fluid to flow through the controlled port during their non-actuated or “at rest” condition. When downstream pressure exceeds the value set by the spring force, the control piston moves off its seat, closing off the flow path and thus reducing the fluid passing through from the main system. The cushioned piston modulates to maintain the preset pressure in this branch of the hydraulic circuit. If, due to external forces, the pressure continues to rise in this branch circuit, the piston will keep moving against the spring force allowing fluid to be drained to the tank, thereby limiting maximum pressure to the valve’s setting.

Additionally, where systems may have large rates of change in flow, the pilot operated valves can accommodate these changes without excessive pressure rise or sometimes called pressure override. Due to the flow opening areas through the valve, these spool type valves will operate more quietly than a conventional direct acting valve. One must also consider the leakage component as the spool is, by design, going to pass a small leakage flow, whereas a direct acting valve does not pass significant flow until the cracking pressure is reached. Spool type relief valves should not be used in load holding application.

Function VMY*K06:
With the proportional solenoids de-energized, the main spring forces the main spool into the neutral position. Port A is connected to port T. Thus the reduced pressure only depends on the back pressure in the external drain pipe and/or the tank pressure and can accordingly be reduced down to 0 bar. The pressure present in the P line delivers the pilot oil to the pilot stage via a flow control valve.

When the proportional solenoid is energized, the pilot pressure is increased in the pilot pressure area, and the main spool moves against the spring until the connection P – A opens. The regulation of the reduced pressure on connection A takes place by the constant comparison of the actual pressure and the reference pressure of the pilot stage.

Function VMY*K10:
The valve spool is designed so that the connection B-A is open in the neutral position and is closed in the working position.

Additional Technical Insight:
Parker’s RU101 and M04A4J offer design flexibility by allowing the use of hydraulic components to automatically control pump flow to one or more accumulators. These are low flow pilot valves that can be used to control higher pump flows in fixed displacement or load sense systems.

The RU101 is externally piloted and rated for flows up to 1 GPM and pressures up to 3000 psi. It is typically used with fixed displacement pumps and can directly unload flows up to 1 GPM or be used to pilot a logic element to unload higher pump flows. Once the accumulators are charged to the adjustable or factory preset maximum pressure, the pump will automatically unload back to tank. Due to the differential area design, when the pressure drops to 80% of the RU101 maximum setting, the unloading valve will direct pump flow to the accumulators for recharging.

The M04A4J is internally piloted and is rated for flows up to .53 GPM and pressures as high as 6000 psi. It is typically used with load sense pumps to control accumulator charging. When the accumulators are charged to the unload pressure, the pump’s load sense port is directed to tank allowing the pump to go to its standby pressure. Once the accumulator pressure falls to the M04A4J reload pressure, the pump’s load sense port is fed the accumulator pressure and the pump comes on stroke to charge the accumulator back up to the unload pressure. Controlling only the pump load sense signal allows a small cartridge valve to control a wide range of flows from small to larger displacement load sense pumps.

Parker’s unloading pressure control valves offer design flexibility by allowing in-line mounting with standard line bodies, or integration into more complex custom manifolds. They can also be combined with K04G3 shuttles for use in critical applications that require redundant accumulators such as braking and steering. By hydraulically controlling pump unloading for accumulator charging, there may be no need for solenoid valves, pressure sensors, electronic controls, and the associated wiring. Combining the features of the RU101 or M04A4J with the many other products offered by Parker’s Hydraulic Cartridge Division allows for application specific solutions for some of the most demanding applications, including: Construction, Mining, Industrial Power Units, Oil and Gas, Marine, Material Handling.

Additional Technical Insight:
Direct Acting Reducing/Relieving valves are applied in a circuit in order to reduce system pressure to the setting of valve to limit the pressure available to a specific branch of a hydraulic circuit. The direct acting function of the normally open valve allows the spool to operate directly against a control spring that is set using the valves internal adjustment setting. As hydraulic pressure is applied to the valve inlet, the spool will shift closed against the spring to limit the pressure that is available to the regulated port to the control setting. The valve will also function as a relief valve to the regulated port in the event of a rise in downstream pressure, protecting the regulated branch of the circuit from pressure spikes. Direct acting reducing/relieving valves are intended or intermittent duty applications with lower duty cycles that will not stress the mechanical operation of the valve. For best performance in the direct acting reducing/relieving valve, the inlet pressure setting should not exceed 1000 PSI (69 Bar) above the reducing valve setting, as high pressure differential could result in instability in the direct acting product. For continuous duty applications or applications where a high differential is required, the pilot operated version of this product should be considered as an alternative solution.

Typical applications are in mobile & industrial equipment, where a branch of the system is intended to operate at a lower setting than high system pressure. Hydraulic functions such as brake circuits, clamping or clutch circuits, suspension systems, street sweepers, or seeding and planting rows in agricultural equipment are common applications for these products.

Applications:
• Dump circuits
• High/low systems
• Sequencing applications

Additional Technical Insight:
SVH081, SVH101, and SVH161 pilot operated sequence valves are internally piloted and externally drained. All three versions are normally closed spool-type valves that prevent flow from passing through the valve until the adjustable pressure setting is reached. When the inlet pressure exceeds the sequence setting the valve is internally piloted open allowing flow downstream to a secondary function. An external drain port plumbed directly to tank ensures that downstream pressure does not affect the pressure setting. Clamp and machine, or unlock and dump, are typical applications since they require one function to happen before another one.

SVH102 and SVH162 are externally piloted and internally drained sequence valves. Both are normally closed and prevent flow from passing through the valve when the pilot pressure is below the pressure setting. When the external pilot source exceeds the adjustable pressure setting, the valve opens allowing flow to go downstream. Back pressure on the downstream port is added to the valve setting due to the internal drain, therefore it is most common to connect the sequenced port to tank. High-Low Pump Unloading is a common application.

SVCH101 is an inline mounted combination of an internally piloted, externally drained sequence valve and a reverse flow check. An SVH101 sequence valve and a CVH103 check valve are incorporated into a single body with SAE-8 work ports and an SAE-6 drain.

Additional Technical Insight:
Direct acting sequence valves are spool-type devices that allow multiple functions to operate in sequence without the need for solenoid valves, limit switches, or complex control systems. Parker’s B02, B04, and SV10 sequence valves provide design options for 2-position 2-way or 2-position 3-way sequencing with pilot signals and drains provided internally or externally. Externally drained versions are not sensitive to downstream pressure if they are drained to the tank. One or more sequence valves can be used in a circuit to allow multiple functions to operate in a specific order based on pressure. Normally closed and normally open versions are available to allow for design flexibility.

Parker’s B04H4, B04J4, and SV104 series of direct acting sequence valves are Externally Piloted and Externally Drained. The Normally Closed B04H4 is a 2-position 2-way valve that blocks flow in both directions until an external pilot supply pressure overcomes the sequencing setting. B04J4 and SV104 are Normally Open 2-position 2-way valves that allow bi-directional flow until the external pilot supply reaches the sequence setting. All three valves are insensitive to back pressure when their drain line is connected to tank.

Parker’s B04F3, B04G3, B04K4, and SV105 series of direct acting sequence valves are Externally Piloted and Internally Drained. The Normally Closed B04F3 and SV105 are 2-postion 2-way valves that prevent flow from passing from port 3 to 2 until an external pilot supply pressure overcomes the sequencing setting. Once the sequence pressure is reached the valve will open allowing flow from port 3 to 2. B04G3 is a 2-position 2-way Normally Open valve that allows flow from port 2 to 3 until the external pilot pressure reaches the sequence pressure blocking flow from 2 to 3. B04K4 is a 2-position 3-way normally open valve that allows bi-directional flow between ports 2 and 3 until the sequence pressure is met. Once the pilot pressure exceeds the set pressure, port 2 is blocked and flow is allowed from port 3 to port 4. The internal drain causes downstream pressure to be additive to the valves pressure setting, therefore it is most common for the downstream port to be connected to tank.

Parker’s B02E3F and B04E3 direct acting 2-position 3-way sequence valves are Internally Piloted and Internally Drained. Flow from port 2 to 1 is normally open until the pressure at port 1 exceeds the valves setting which closes port 3 and allows flow from port 1 to port 2.

Parker’s SV103 direct acting 2-position 3-way sequence valve is Internally Piloted and Externally Drained. Flow from port 1 to 2 is Normally Closed until the pressure at port 1 exceeds the sequence setting which allows flow from port 1 to 2. Port 3 is a dedicated spring chamber vent which makes the valve insensitive to downstream pressure at port 2.

Please contact Parker Hydraulic Cartridge Division if you have a sequencing application that requires higher flow rates. Pilot Operated Sequence Valves are capable of flows up to 42 GPM. Higher flows up to 130 GPM can be achieved with the use of logic elements and small pilot valves.

Parker’s pilot operated ventable relief valves offer the ability to control the pressure setting using either internal adjustment or remote circuit; ideal in applications that require multiple settings up to 420 bar (6000 psi) and 400 lpm (106 gpm).

Additional Technical Insight:
Ventable relief valves are pilot operated, spool type pressure controls. Like other pilot operated relief valves, the ventable relief has a main pilot spring chamber, and a bias spring chamber separated by a pilot orifice. The internal adjustment controls the main pilot spring setting. When pressure in the system builds above the setting of the main pilot setting, the pilot seat will lift allowing the spool to travel to the open position passing flow. What makes ventable relief valves unique is the valve offers an isolated vent chamber that is connected to the bias spring chamber. This allows for the valve to open at a lower pressure than the setting of the main spring.

The circuit designer has the ability to apply an external control valve or valves to set the operating pressure of the bias spring that must be overcome to allow the valve to open. This is an ideal solution in applications that may require variable pressure settings in normal operation.

One must consider the leakage component when applying any pilot operated spool type relief valve, as by design, the spool will pass a small leakage flow.

Additional Technical Insight:
B04D3 is an internally piloted and externally drained sequence valve with an integrated reverse free flow check valve. When pressure is below the sequence setting the valve is normally closed. Once the pressure setting is reached the valve is internally piloted open allowing flow to a secondary branch of the circuit. Flow from the secondary branch is allowed to free flow back to the primary branch via the reverse flow check. The external drain should be plumbed directly back to tank to prevent downstream pressure from adding to the sequence setting. Two adjustable pressure ranges are standard for 3000 or 6000 PSI maximum operating pressures, and each version is capable of flows up to 32 GPM. Screw, knob, and tamper-resistant adjustment options are available.

Combining a sequencing function and reverse flow check into a single size 10 cartridge reduces manifold space, complexity and the number of components. The integrated check valve reduces internal drillings and can also allow for multiple double acting functions to be operated with a single directional control valve. Parker’s B04D3 offers design flexibility that can be utilized in many applications including: Clamp and Drill, Machine Tools, Presses, Power Units, Material Handling, Construction, and Agriculture.

Additional Technical Insight:
This particular model of spool type pilot operated valve has a reverse check. This allows flow to pass in the opposite direction, port 2 to 1. This may be advantageous in an anti-cavitation application, or where reverse flow needs to be accommodated.

Pilot operated relief valves are available is -08 to -20 size cavity configurations. This family of valves is best suited for continuous duty systems where the valve is asked to operate beyond any intermittent use. They can be used to maintain system pressure for long periods of time. Additionally, where systems may have large rates of change in flow, the pilot operated valves can accommodate these changes without excessive pressure rise or sometimes called pressure override. Due to the flow opening areas through the valve, these spool type valves will operate more quietly than a conventional direct acting valve. One must also consider the leakage component as the spool is, by design, going to pass a small leakage flow, whereas a direct acting valve does not pass significant flow until the cracking pressure is reached.

Parker’s kick-down pilot operated spool type sequence valve is a hydraulic fuse used to unload flow once the pressure setting is reached, resetting when less than 45 psi. Capable of flows up to 160 lpm (42 gpm) and pressures up to 420 bar (6000 psi).

A04K2 Series

Parker’s kick-down pilot operated spool type sequence valve provides fast responding and reliable performance for hydraulic circuits that require pressure to be eliminated once the max setting is achieved. These valves can work with pressures up to 420 bar (6000 psi) and flows up to 160 lpm (42 gpm) and can be considered a hydraulic fuse. Parker’s kick-down pilot operated spool type sequence valve is intended for clamping or press applications that don’t have strict leakage requirements within industrial markets, but can also be use in mobile applications such as when attachments or implements are used with hydraulic quick couplers and a fixed displacement pump.

Markets:
• Agriculture
• Aerial
• Construction
• Miscellaneous Industrial
• Miscellaneous Manufacturing
• Miscellaneous Mobile

Features/Benefits:
• High pressure and flow capacity
• Integrated 250 micron screen
• Hardened, precision ground parts for durability
• All external parts zinc plated

Applications:
• Clamping
• Power units
• Attachments/implements with quick disconnects

Additional Technical Insight:
This valve is best described as a pilot operated relief valve with a circuit breaker effect. The setting of the valve to open is adjustable, but reset pressure is always 45 psi. Once tripped open, the valve will remain open and flow through port 2 will continue until the pressure presented to port 1 is less than the bias pressure to hold the valve open, which is 45 psi/3 bar. Once the valve “trips” open, it provides a dynamic signal to the operator that a maximum pressure has been reached and the system dynamics need to be addressed.

One must also consider the leakage component as the spool is, by design, going to pass a small leakage flow, whereas a direct acting valve does not pass significant flow until the cracking pressure is reached.

Parker’s kick-down pilot operated sequence valve is a hydraulic fuse used to unload flow once the pressure setting is reached, resetting when all flow is removed. Capable of flows up to 160 lpm (42 gpm) and pressures up to 420 bar (6000 psi).

 

B04C3 Series

Parker’s kick-down pilot operated sequence valve provides fast responding and reliable performance for hydraulic circuits that require pressure to be eliminated once the max setting is achieved. These valves can work with pressures up to 420 bar (6000 psi) and flows up to 160 lpm (42 gpm) and can be considered a hydraulic fuse. Parker’s kick-down pilot operated sequence valve is intended for clamping or press within industrial markets, but can also be use in mobile applications such as when attachments are used with quick disconnects and a fixed displacement pump.

Markets:

Features/Benefits:
• High pressure and flow capacity
• Integrated 250 micron screen
• Hardened, precision ground parts for durability
• All external parts zinc plated

Applications:
• Clamping
• Power units
• Attachments/implements with quick disconnects

Additional Technical Insight:
Unlike relief valves which will reset slightly below their pressure setting, Parker’s B04C3 Kick-Down sequence valve will continue to unload pump flow until its supply flow is completely stopped. Two adjustable pressure ranges are standard for 3000 or 6000 PSI maximum operating pressures, and each version is capable of flows up to 42 GPM. Screw, knob, and tamper-resistant adjustment options are available.

B04C3 pilot operated cartridges are normally closed, internally piloted and externally drained. The external drain prevents downstream pressure from having an effect on the valve setting. When inlet pressure at port 1 is lower than the valve’s setting, flow is not allowed to exit port 2. Once the pressure setting is reached, flow from port 1 is unloaded to port 2. The valve does not reset and close until flow is completely removed from port 1. Staying open after the setting is reached creates a requirement for an operator or the system controls to take steps of removing flow before the valve can stop unloading the pump. Functioning in a manner similar to a fuse can provide additional over-pressurization protection and can also help to detect unusual high pressure machine conditions.

Parker Conflow’s Code 4810 is a low volume, pressure control reducing valve which allows outlet pressure to be set, regardless of inward pressure.

CODE_4810 Low volume reducing valve

The valve operates on a simple throttling principle. The throttle adjustment is achieved by the downstream pressure acting on a spring-loaded piston to open and close the valve. Thus the flow through the valve is reduced and increased as the inlet pressure fluctuates, in order to maintain constant downstream pressure.
Adjustment of the set pressure is carried out by increasing or reducing the spring compression by turning the adjusting screw. It has 3/8″ BSP female port connections.

Code 4810 operates to a maximum working pressure of 140 Bar and is suitable for flows up to 80 LPM.

Markets:
• Pulp/Paper

Code 44 caters for a full range of outlet pressures including low, high and extra high and allows for simple screw adjustment of pressure reduction range up to 124 bar.

44 Adj Press Red Valve Series

The valve operates on a simple throttling principle. The throttle adjustment is achieved by the downstream pressure acting on a spring-loaded piston to open and close the reducing valve. Thus the flow through the valve is reduced and increased as the inlet pressure fluctuates, in order to maintain constant downstream pressure. Adjustment of the set pressure is carried out by increasing or reducing the spring compression by turning the adjusting screw.

Parker Conflow’s Code 61 is a compact, in-line ratio reducing valve which reduces downstream fluid pressure to safe and appropriate pressures for equipment to operate. It is effective in reducing downstream fluid pressure in underground mines by a set proportion and to a fixed ratio, making no allowance for inlet pressure variations.

Its in-line design reduces the risk of damage to the valve and it is also extremely robust – the High Pressure version being manufactured from stainless steel.

61 Fixed Ratio Red Valve

The Code 61 valve is ideal for use where the inlet pressure is fairly constant or where pressure reduction is required but does not need to be closely maintained. It is widely used at the shaft bottom, before distribution throughout the mine.
