Product Overview
The Rexroth DBDH 20 K 18/315 (Material Number: R900424111) is a direct operated pressure relief valve designed to protect hydraulic systems against excessive pressure and to limit working pressure to a preset value. As part of the Rexroth DBDH series, this valve operates on a proven poppet-type, spring-loaded principle: system pressure acts directly on the valve poppet, and when the force generated exceeds the adjustable spring force, the poppet lifts off its seat, allowing fluid to discharge to the tank port and thereby maintaining system pressure at the set level. The “DBDH” designation identifies a direct operated pressure relief valve with a threaded cartridge-style connection, the “20” refers to the nominal size (NG20), and the “315” indicates a pressure adjustment range up to 315 bar. This valve is engineered for precise pressure control, fast response, and reliable overpressure protection in demanding industrial hydraulic circuits.
