RC Series Cushion Valves (Double Relief Valves), Up To 3000 PSI & 30 GPM

Description & Features

Application	Cross model RC Cushion Valves are designed to protect equal displacement cylinders or motors from external or shock loads. Fluid which passes through one relief valve flows directly to the opposite side or circuit of the valve, thus preventing cavitation of the cylinder or motor as a result of relief discharge. (For cylinder applications, cylinder displacement must be equal in both directions for oil to relieve from one side to the other).
Features	Cartridge type hydraulically dampened poppet design. Quiet. Smaller differential between cracking and full-flow pressures.
Materials	High tensile gray iron housing. Hardened and ground steel poppet. Buna-N seals.
Maximum Flow Rate	30 GPM Maximum.
Maximum Operating Pressure	3000 PSI.

reckon this would keep my hydraulic motor from gettin' beat up by shock loads?

Designed to protect hydraulic motors (and cylinders with equal displacement) from external or shock loads, these cushion valves let fluid pass through one relief valve directly to the opposite side. This prevents cavitation of the motor or cylinder as a result.
