Normal pressure (320 kgf/cm2)

Py servo hydraulic signal : OFF
Hydraulic oil supplied from the pump flows through orifice (2) of main poppet A to chamber (3).
As section area d1 > d2, main poppet A will not move.
If the pressure reaches set value of spring C, servo hydraulic poppet B will open so that the oil flows to tank passage through
hole (4). The pressure in chamber (3) will be lowered.

The oil supplied when servo hydraulic poppet B is opened (the pressure of chamber (3) is low) creates a pressure differential
between front and rear of orifice (2), so the “pressure of chamber (1) × d2” becomes larger than “pressure of chamber (3) × d1”.
The circuit pressure is controlled to constant level as main poppet A opens to allow hydraulic oil flow to tank passage.

Pressurized (350 kgf/cm2)
Py servo hydraulic signal : ON
Servo hydraulic pressure moves piston D and the set pressure of spring C is increased, so pressure setting is raised.
