Product Overview
The Rexroth DA 6 VA2A5X/100FSM (Material No. R901224217) is a direct-operated pressure unloading valve belonging to the proven DA series of pressure control valves. Engineered by Bosch Rexroth, this valve is designed to automatically unload a hydraulic system to tank when a preset pressure threshold is reached, thereby reducing power consumption, limiting heat generation, and protecting downstream components from sustained overpressure. The “100” designation indicates a nominal pressure setting of 100 bar, while the “FSM” suffix denotes the specific adjustment and sealing configuration. With a compact 6-size (NG6 / CETOP 3) subplate mounting interface, the DA 6 VA2A5X is a direct fit for standard industrial manifolds and is widely deployed in accumulator charging circuits, high-low pump systems, and pressure-holding applications requiring reliable, repeatable unloading behavior.

Engineering Features & Advantages
- Precision Performance: Direct-operated spool/poppet design delivers fast, repeatable unloading response with minimal pressure override, ensuring accurate system pressure control and reduced energy loss.
- Energy-Efficient Unloading: Automatically vents pump flow to tank once the set pressure is achieved, cutting power consumption and minimizing thermal load in continuous-duty hydraulic circuits.
- Industrial Reliability: Built for continuous operation under severe industrial conditions, with hardened internal components and robust sealing for long service life.
- Direct Fit Replacement: Exact dimensional and functional compatibility with original OEM standards, including the NG6 subplate interface and Rexroth DA series footprint.
- Direct Fit Replacement: Precision-manufactured to original REXROTH specifications for direct replacement, minimising downtime and eliminating fitment issues.
