Description
Relief valves are commonly used in torque converters to prevent system damage from excessive pressure. The relief valve is designed to open when pressure in the system exceeds a certain level, allowing excess fluid to escape and preventing damage to the torque converter.
If pressure exceeds the set limit, the valve opens, allowing fluid to flow back to the reservoir.
Be sure to service and replace the relief valve regularly to ensure proper torque converter operation and prevent system damage.
Features
- Compatible in terms of viscosity, corrosiveness, and lubricating properties.
- Withstands operating conditions such as high temperature and high pressure.
Applications
The relief valve in the torque converter is located in the pump housing and maintains a specific pressure range within the system. This relief valve is widely used in Cat AD40, AD45, AE40, and AE40 II underground articulated trucks and in 773B, 769C, 785C, 785D, 771C, 789D, 776C, 777, and 773D off-highway trucks.
