Unloading Relief Valve

Product catalog summary
Specifications and Model Number Designation
The document outlines the specifications for unloading relief valves, specifically models BUCG-06 and BUCG-10. These valves are designed for sub-plate mounting and can operate up to 21 MPa (3050 PSI) with a maximum flow of 250 L/min (66 U.S.GPM). The document provides detailed model number designations, including special seals for phosphate ester type fluids, sub-plate mounting options, and design standards for Japanese, European, and North American markets.
Functionality and Application
Unloading relief valves are used in accumulator circuits to operate pumps with minimal load. When system pressure reaches a set cut-out pressure, the valve diverts pump delivery to the reservoir, unloading the pump. The valve redirects flow to the accumulator when pressure drops to the cut-in level. A high-venting-pressure type is available to reduce shift time from unloading to onloading.
Hydraulic Fluids and Instructions
The document specifies compatible hydraulic fluids, including water-glycol, phosphate ester, and petroleum-based oils. It emphasizes maintaining fluid contamination control within NAS 1638-Grade 12 and using a 25 μm or finer line filter. Instructions for pressure adjustment and proper drain pipe connection are provided to ensure optimal valve operation.
Installation and Mounting
Detailed installation drawings and dimensions for models BUCG-06 and BUCG-10 are included, specifying thread sizes and sub-plate model numbers. The document advises on maintaining a good machined finish on mounting surfaces and provides recommended viscosity and oil temperature ranges.
Performance Characteristics
Performance charts illustrate the relationship between cut-in and cut-out pressures, unloading pressure versus flow, and pressure drop for check valves. The document specifies hydraulic fluid viscosity and specific gravity for accurate performance assessment.
Spare Parts and Maintenance
A spare parts list for O-rings and seal kits is provided, with instructions for careful seal replacement. The document advises specifying seal kit numbers when ordering replacements.
Pressure Switches
The document also covers pressure switches (ST/SG-02) used to make or break electrical circuits at preset hydraulic pressures. Specifications include micro switch ratings and designations for threaded connections and sub-plate mounting.

Unloading Relief Valve-1

UNLOADING RELIEF VALVES BUCG-06/10 (3/4, 1-1/4) Sub-plate Mounting PRESSURE CONTROLS Specifications / Model Number Designation Up to 21 MPa (3050 PSI), 250 L /min (66 U.S.GPM) These valves are used to operate the pumps with minimum load in accumulator circuits or in high-low pump circuits. In accumulator circuits, when the system pressure reaches to a cut out pressure (adjusted maximum), the valve acts to divert the pump delivery to the reservoir at low pressure, thus the pump is unloaded automatically. When the accumulator pressure drops to the cut in pressure (refer to characteristic chart on page 5), the valve directs the pump delivery to the accumulator and hydraulic system. An integral check valve prevents reverse flow through the valve from the accumulator. In high-low pump circuits, the valve acts to unload the large volume pump with the same manner as described above during load operation of the small volume pump. Specifications Model Numbers Approx.

Unloading Relief Valves BUCG-06/10 PRESSURE CONTROLS Hydraulic Fluids / Instructions / Others Hydraulic Fluids Fluid Types Any type of hydraulic fluids listed in the table below can be used. Petroleum base oils Synthetic fluids Water containing fluids Use fluids equivalent to ISO VG32 or VG46. Use phosphate ester or polyol ester fluid. When phosphate ester fluid is used, prefix "F-" to the model number because the special seals (fluororubber) are required to be used. Use water-glycol fluid.
