Function, section
The SV and SL valves are hydraulic pilot operated check valves
of poppet type design which may be opened to permit flow in
the reverse direction.
In order to ensure that the valve opens due to the pressure
applied to the control spool (4), a certain minimum pilot
pressure is required (see page 4).
These valves are used for the isolation of operating circuits
which are under pressure, i.e. as a safe guard against the
lowering of a load when a line break occurs or against
creeping movements of hydraulically locked actuators.
Types SV..A.. and SL..A.. (with decompression)
The valve basically comprises of the housing (1), the poppet
(2), a compression spring (3), the control spool (4) as well as
an optional decompression feature as a ball poppet valve (5).
Type SV
The valve permits free-flow from A to B. In the reverse
direction, the poppet (2) is held firmly on to its seat in addition
to the spring force by the system pressure.
By applying pressure to connection X, the control spool (4) is
moved to the right. This lifts poppet (2) off its seat. Now the
valve also permits free-flow from B to A.
This valve is fitted with an additional decompression feature.
When pressure is applied to port X, the control spool (4) is
moved to the right. This firstly lifts the ball (5.1) and then the
poppet (2) off their seats. The valve now permits flow from B
to A.
Because of the decompression feature there is a dampened
decompression of the pressurised fluid. Due to this possible
pressure shocks are avoided.
Type SL...
The function of this valve corresponds to that of the type SV.
The difference is the external Y connection. Here, the annular
area of the control spool (4) is separated from the port A.
Pressure present in port A only acts on area A4 (9) of the
control spool (4).

The cleanliness class stated for the components must be
adhered too in hydraulic systems. Effective filtration prevents
faults from occurring and at the same time increases the
component service life.
