Study on hydraulic direct-acting relief valve

Valves with elastic shut-off-and-regulating elements are increasingly applied in hydraulic systems, working in conditions of excessive vibrations. The objective of this study is to determine the dynamic characteristics of regulators with shut-off-and-regulating elements. The method of phase trajectories establishes the controller's parameters and modes, which provide its work stability. The authors receive dynamic characteristics providing the absence of self-oscillations at the expense of additional damping of the shut-off-and-regulating element. They make a test sample of the pressure regulator with an elastic shut-off-and-regulating element. The article defines the characteristics curve of the pressure regulator (direct operated pressure relief valve) from the initial conditions. The obtained results can be used, when designing hydraulic technological machines. Keywords - oscillation damping, an elastic shut-off-and-regulating element.
