Product Overview
The Rexroth AB21-11/16-050-2-1X/M (Material Number R900545627) is a precision-engineered hydraulic control block from the Bosch Rexroth AB series of modular sandwich (intermediate) plates. Designed to be mounted between a directional spool valve and its subplate, this control block integrates a pilot-operated check function that locks actuator ports against load-induced drift and reverse flow until a positive pilot pressure signal is applied. The AB21-11/16-050-2-1X/M is built around Rexroth’s proven spool-and-sleeve sealing technology, delivering leak-tight load holding, fast pilot response, and repeatable metering characteristics. As a component within the Rexroth directional spool valve family, it serves as a critical safety and load-control element in high-pressure industrial hydraulic circuits, ensuring controlled actuator positioning and reliable pressure retention in demanding duty cycles.
