Product Overview
The Eaton DARV-W-20-K-10/50 is a high-performance proportional pressure relief valve from the Vickers line of proportional and servo valves. Engineered for precise electro-hydraulic pressure control, this valve utilizes a proportional solenoid actuator to infinitely modulate system pressure in direct response to an analog electrical command signal. Unlike conventional fixed-setting relief valves, the DARV series provides stepless pressure adjustment, enabling smooth ramp-up and ramp-down profiles that protect downstream components from pressure spikes and shock loads. With a nominal size of NG20 (SAE 20) and a pressure rating of up to 50 bar (as designated by the model code), this valve is ideally suited for industrial hydraulic systems requiring accurate, repeatable pressure regulation and remote electronic control capability.
