The most widely used type of pressure control valve is the pressure-relief valve because it is found in practically every hydraulic system. Schematic diagram of…

Unloading valves are pressure-control devices that are used to dump excess fluid to the tank at little or no pressure. A common application is in…
Pressure-compensated flow-control valvesovercome the difficulty causedby non-pressure-compensated valves by changing the size of the orifice in relation to the changes in the system pressure. This…
Non-pressure-compensated flow-control valves are used when the system pressure is relatively constant and motoring speeds are not too critical. The operating principle behind these valves…
A pilot-operated unloading valve has less pressure override than its direct-acting counterpart.So it does not dump part of the flow prematurely. A pilot-operated unloading relief…
A direct-acting unloading valve consists of a spool held in the closed position by a spring. The spool blocks flow from the inlet to the…
The second type of valve is a pressure-reducing valve. This type of valve (which is normally open) is used to maintain reduced pressures in specified…
A pilot-operated pressure-relief valve consists of a small pilot relief valve and main relief valve as shown in Fig. 1.4. It operates in a two-stage…
Pressure-relief valves limit the maximum pressure in a hydraulic circuit by providing an alternate path for fluid flow when the pressure reaches a preset level.…
This is a standard cylinder that produces reciprocating motion. It is available in single and double rod types. Fig. 10.1 shows the single rod cylinder.…
