Product Overview
The Eaton RV5-16-C-0-60 (part number 565781) is a direct-acting pressure relief valve from the Eaton RV5 series, engineered to protect hydraulic circuits by limiting maximum system pressure and safely diverting excess flow to tank. As a pressure control valve, it operates on a balanced poppet-and-spring principle: when inlet pressure exceeds the adjustable spring setting, the poppet lifts off its seat and meters flow to the return line, maintaining a stable, repeatable pressure ceiling. The RV5-16-C-0-60 is a cartridge-style relief valve designed for manifold or housing installation in industrial power units, machine tools, and mobile hydraulic systems where precise overpressure protection and dependable response are essential to component and circuit integrity.
