Product Overview
The VICKERS PRV12-10-S-0-15/8 is a direct-acting, spring-loaded pressure relief valve engineered by Vickers (Eaton) for precise overpressure protection in industrial hydraulic circuits. As a pressure control valve, it operates on a balanced poppet/spool principle: when system pressure at the inlet port exceeds the spring’s set force, the valve opens and diverts excess flow to the tank port, thereby capping circuit pressure at the desired level. This model is factory set to a nominal cracking pressure of 15 bar with an 8 mm nominal flow passage, making it well suited to low-pressure pilot, clamping, and lubrication circuits where stable pressure limiting is critical. Its compact screw-in cartridge-style body allows direct integration into manifold blocks and OEM housings, providing reliable pressure control without the need for external pilot lines.

Engineering Features & Advantages
- Precision Pressure Limiting: The direct-acting spring-loaded design delivers fast, repeatable cracking and reseat characteristics, protecting downstream components from pressure spikes with minimal override.
- Stable Low-Pressure Control: Factory-set 15 bar configuration with an 8 mm nominal flow passage provides smooth, chatter-free operation in low-pressure pilot and clamping circuits.
- Industrial Reliability: Built for continuous operation under severe industrial conditions, with hardened internal metering surfaces that resist wear and maintain set pressure over extended service intervals.
- Direct Fit Replacement: Exact dimensional and functional compatibility with original OEM Vickers PRV12 series valves, ensuring drop-in interchangeability without manifold modification.
Typical Industrial Applications
This pressure relief valve is commonly deployed in plastic injection molding machines for mold clamping and ejector circuit protection, metallurgical presses and rolling mill auxiliary hydraulics, CNC machine tool power packs and tool-clamping systems, and general industrial power units where reliable low-pressure overpressure protection is required. It is also suitable for construction and marine hydraulic circuits demanding compact, manifold-mounted pressure control.
