Product Overview
The Rexroth SL 20 GB 3-45/S0311 (Material No. R900052808) is a pilot-operated check valve from the proven Rexroth SL series, designed for leak-free load holding and controlled load lowering in industrial hydraulic systems. As a pilot-operated (pilot-to-open) check valve, it permits free flow in one direction and blocks reverse flow until a sufficient pilot pressure signal is applied to the pilot port, at which point the poppet is hydraulically unseated to allow controlled return flow. The SL series is a sandwich (modular) design that mounts between a directional control valve and a subplate or manifold, providing a compact, space-saving solution for load holding, load locking, and pressure retention functions. With a size 20 (NG20 / CETOP 8) interface, this valve is engineered for high flow capacity and reliable sealing performance in demanding industrial circuits.

Engineering Features & Advantages
- Leak-Free Load Holding: The precision-ground poppet and seat design ensures virtually zero internal leakage in the blocked direction, making it ideal for holding suspended loads over extended periods without drift.
- Pilot-Controlled Release: Reverse flow is enabled only when pilot pressure is applied, allowing controlled and safe lowering of loads and preventing uncontrolled movement in the event of a pressure loss.
- Modular Sandwich Construction: The NG20 sandwich plate design integrates directly between the directional valve and subplate, minimizing piping, reducing leak points, and simplifying system assembly and maintenance.
- Industrial Reliability: Built for continuous operation under severe industrial conditions, with robust construction and wear-resistant internal components for extended service life.
- Direct Fit Replacement: Exact dimensional and functional compatibility with original REXROTH OEM standards, ensuring drop-in replacement without modification to existing manifolds or piping.
