Product Overview
The Rexroth DR 20-4-45/200YM (Material No. R900418952) is a pilot-operated pressure reducing valve designed for precise secondary circuit pressure regulation in industrial hydraulic systems. Manufactured by Bosch Rexroth, this valve belongs to the proven DR series, which is widely recognized for its robust construction and reliable performance in demanding applications. The valve maintains a constant reduced outlet pressure regardless of fluctuations in the inlet pressure or changes in flow demand, making it essential for systems requiring stable downstream pressure control. The “YM” suffix indicates a specific adjustment and control configuration, while the “45” designates the nominal pressure setting range and the “200” indicates the maximum adjustable secondary pressure in bar. This valve is a direct-fit, drop-in replacement for OEM Rexroth components, ensuring seamless integration into existing hydraulic circuits without modification.
