A crossline relief sits between the two work lines of a hydraulic motor and protects it in both directions of rotation. Stop a spinning slasher, auger, winch or conveyor abruptly and the load keeps driving the motor — the crossline relief gives that trapped pressure somewhere to go before it blows a seal or shears a shaft.
Use the dropdown above to pick your size and style. The DPRSU version adds a tank port so the low side can draw make-up oil instead of cavitating — the right choice for high-inertia loads that free-wheel.
| Ports | Max Flow | Range | Style | Part Number |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3/8 inch BSPP | 40 L/min | 20 to 210 bar | Crossline relief, dual cartridge | VBDC3802 |
| 3/8 inch BSPP | 40 L/min | 40 to 350 bar | Crossline relief, dual cartridge | VBDC3803 |
| 1/2 inch BSPP | 40 L/min | 20 to 210 bar | Crossline relief, dual cartridge | VBDC1202 |
| 1/2 inch BSPP | 40 L/min | 40 to 350 bar | Crossline relief, dual cartridge | VBDC1203 |
| 1/2 inch BSPP | 80 L/min | 30 to 260 bar | Dual relief WITH tank port (anti-cav make-up) | DPRSU800320A |
| 3/4 inch BSPP | 80 L/min | 30 to 260 bar | Dual crossline relief | DPRL800420A |
The main relief cannot save your motor. When a spinning load drives the motor after the valve centres, the pressure spike is trapped between motor and valve - the system relief never sees it.
That is what these are for. Set them with a gauge 10-20% above working pressure. Watch for cavitation on long run-downs: a pure crossline relief moves oil from one side to the other, but leakage means the low side can suck air - if your load spins down for more than a second or two, use the tank-ported DPRSU version plumbed to tank, or fit anti-cav checks. Mount close to the motor - a metre of hose between motor and relief is a metre of spike.
