Question: On the LS-3000-1, what is the preset
PSI and what is it adjustable to on the pressure release detent for the
cylinder return?
Answer: The LS-3000-1 pressure release detent
is set to center the handle when the B port reaches a preset 1400 psi. The inlet relief of the LS-3000-1 log
splitter valve is preset at 2250psi @ 3 gpms and 105 degree F. We
recommend 250psi at a minimum between the inlet relief and pressure
relief. You would want your inlet to be 250psi higher than your pressure relief detent.
Below is the engineering spec section for for
reference:
Relief Valve Settings
Unless otherwise noted with order code
or on print, relief valve setting is to be 2250 psi* ± 100 psi @3 GPM ± 1
GPM. All other settings to have similar ranges unless otherwise noted on
assembly drawing or bill of material.
*The
Relief Pressure is defined as the pressure drop from the inlet of valve to the
outlet of valve. 3 GPM must be flowing across the relief at 2250 psi.Detent release pressure to be 1400 psi ± 150 psi at 3 GPM as standard setting. If the relief setting is less than 1650 psi, the detent release pressure is to be set at the relief setting at minimum minus 250 psi.
