The Bosch Rexroth DB20-3-5X/315Y/12 (R978870733) is a pilot-operated pressure relief valve designed for controlling operating pressure within hydraulic systems. This valve functions by utilizing a main spool insert in conjunction with a pilot control valve that features a pressure adjustment element. The device operates by allowing the pressure in channel P to act on the main spool, while also being directed to the spring-loaded side of the spool and to the ball in the pilot control valve through control lines equipped with nozzles.
When the pressure at channel P surpasses the set value on the spring, the ball opens against this spring, sending a signal internally from channel P through control lines. The hydraulic fluid then flows from the spring-loaded side of the main spool into the tank via an internal or external route depending on whether it is type DB or type DBY, respectively. This action ensures that as soon as channel P's pressure exceeds a preset limit, it opens a pathway to channel T, thus maintaining optimal operating pressure.
The valve offers unloading capabilities or can switch to an alternative second pressure rating via port X. It is suitable for subplate mounting with porting patterns conforming to ISO standards (NG6, NG10, and NG16), and can also be used as a screw-in cartridge valve for threaded connections. Users have several adjustment types available for setting their desired pressure including rotary knobs and sleeves with hexagon and protective caps; some models feature lockable rotary knobs with scales or rotary knobs with scales for precise adjustments.
This model comes in various sizes and component series X options, supporting maximum operating pressures up to 315 bar and maximum flow rates measured in liters per minute. Additionally, it boasts a corrosion-protected design for enhanced durability in demanding environments.

Pressure valve type DB is a pilot-operated pressure relief valve. It is used for limiting the operating pressure.
The pressure relief valves (DB) basically consist of the main valve (1) with main spool insert (3) and pilot control valve (2) with pressure adjustment element.
The pressure applied to channel P acts on the main spool (3). At the same time, pressure is applied to the spring-loaded side of the main spool (3) and to the ball (8) in the pilot control valve (2) via the control lines (6) and (7) which are equipped with nozzles (4) and (5). If the pressure in channel P exceeds the value set at the spring (9), the ball (8) opens against the spring (9). The corresponding signal comes internally, via the control lines (10) and (6) from channel P. The hydraulic fluid on the spring-loaded side of main spool (3) now flows via the control line (7), nozzle bore (11) and ball (8) into the spring chamber (12). From here, it is fed into the tank, either internally for type DB …– via control line (13), or externally for type DB…Y via control line (14). Nozzles (4) and (5) cause a pressure drop to occur at the main spool (3), hence the connection from channel P to channel T opens. Now, the hydraulic fluid flows from channel P to channel T maintaining the set operating pressure.
The pressure relief valve can be unloaded or switched to another pressure (second pressure rating) via port X (15).

Counter pressure in the discharge line
Basically, the valve should be operated without counter pressure in the discharge line, if possible. With counter pressure in the discharge line, the maximum flow possible is reduced. There is a relation between the maximum counter pressure pT in the discharge line and flow qV, which can be seen from the following characteristic curves. Characteristic curves for intermediate values of the response pressure which are not listed must be determined by means of interpolation.
With a flow approaching zero, the maximum counter pressure pT is in each case 10 % of the response pressure. With increasing flow, the maximum counter pressure pT is reduced.
Interpolation of intermediate values from the diagram
At the pT axis, mark 1/10 of the value of pA. Determine the next lower and the next higher characteristic curve for this point. The point marked at pT divides the section between lower and higher characteristic curve on the pT axis with a certain percentage. At the qVmax axis, divide the section between next lower and next higher characteristic curve in the same percentage as the section at the pT axis. From the zerocrossing on the qVmax axis determined in that way, draw a straight line to the value on the pT axis marked before. Mark the system flow to be secured at the qVmax axis. Read off the maximum counter pressure for this value using the line at the pT axis drawn before.
Determination of the maximum counter pressure
Example 1 (with already existing characteristic curve):
Flow of the system / accumulator to be secured:qVmax = [si]300 l/min[/si][imp]79.3 USgpm[/imp Safety valve set to: pA = [si]80 bar[/si][imp]1150 psi[/imp]. Read off the maximum counter pressure pT of approx. [si]12 bar[/si][imp]175 psi[/imp] from the diagram (see arrows, dashed line " ").
Example 2 (with interpolated characteristic curve):
Flow of the system / accumulator to be secured: qVmax = [si]300 l/min[/si][imp]79.3 USgpm[/imp Safety valve set to: pA = [si]80 bar[/si][imp]1150 psi[/imp] Value to be marked at the axis referred to as pT: 1/10 x [si]80 bar[/si][imp]1150 psi[/imp] = [si]8 bar[/si][imp]115 psi[/imp]. Read off the maximum counter pressure pT of approx. [si]1 bar[/si][imp]15 psi[/imp] from the diagram (see arrows, dashed/dotted line " ").
