VALVES FOR MOTORS: DUAL CROSS OVER RELIEF

Bosch Rexroth Oil Control manufactures a variety of valves for pressure, flow and motion control of actuators working
in both forward and reverse direction. A few of these valves are designed to be line mounted on the 2 main hoses, but
many of them are studied to match the port patterns of commercially available hydraulic motors and they can be flanged
onto the motor directly simplifying plumbing and saving space.
This catalogue shows examples of valves for Rexroth A2FE Series and Sauer-Danfoss orbital motors, but the valve range
extends to a number of other motors as well.

The valves are grouped by hydraulic function as follows:

4a) DUAL CROSS OVER RELIEF
4b) SINGLE COUNTERBALANCE WITH BRAKE RELEASE PORT
4c) DUAL COUNTERBALANCE WITH BRAKE RELEASE PORT
4d) MOTION CONTROL

4a) DUAL CROSS OVER RELIEF

They limit the inlet pressure in either one of the inlet lines and they protect the actuator from shocks or pressure surges
induced by changes in direction or sudden stops.
Since they are of the cross-over type, they transfer the exhausted oil to the other line (from V1 to V2 and vice-versa) to
ensure re-filling of the actuator and to prevent cavitation.

Some dual cross-over relief valves have an extra tank port “T” (see scheme) with two check valves to allow oil inlet into
the low pressure line and to make up for any drain or for any exhausted flow. In order to ensure that the motor is always
full, and to avoid cavitation, the “T” port must be connected to a tank line slightly pressurized (at least 5 ÷ 8 bar).
