INTENDED USE

Barksdale’s pressure regulators are sensitive, pressure-control devices used to maintain a pre-determined pressure in a hydraulic circuit. The regulated output pressure is controlled by adjusting the spring force by air or hydraulic motor or manually to balance the hydraulic loading. Design features ensure excellent accuracy, repeatability and high flow coefficients. This regulator works on Shear-Seal® technology which uses fluid pressure to maintain a leak-free metal to metal seal.

INSTALLATION

Make sure of ports are clean from debris that may have accumulated during storage or transportation. Confirm system operating condition before installation and should be as per regulator specifications.
Caution: Pressure regulator should be installed in an assembly where the design pressure of the system downstream of the device is lower than the pressure which can occur upstream of the device and the system downstream should be protected by a safety accessory. (As stated by PED 97/23/EC).

• Install regulator horizontally or vertically using mounting holes (3/8-16 UNC-2B), 4 places.

• Connect pipes – 1” NPT Inlet & Outlet, 1/2” NPT Vent to assemble regulator in your system.
  SAE port option is available as per customer requirement.

• If required, connect supply line to Air pilot or Hydraulic pilot motors for adjusting the pressure outlet set point.

OPERATION

The Regulator 20495 is a 1” valve having options for manual operation, Air motor operation or Hydraulic motor operated. The regulator comes set at the mid-point of the pressure range. Follow these instructions to adjust the set point.

Warning: Be sure that system pressure has been vented prior to operation.

• For manual Regulator, loosen the locking handle, rotate the adjusting handle down to desired pressure and set the locking handle tight.
• To increase pressure, rotate handle clockwise, to decrease pressure, rotate the handle counter-clockwise. Always tighten the locking handle after setting the regulator.
• For Failsafe Regulator, the locking handle must be tight for the motors to engage. Note: If locking handle is not fully engaged adjustment handle will spin freely during motor operation.
• To adjust set point, apply pressure to pilot port “A” for an increase in set point and to port “B” for a decrease in set point. Required range as in Table 3.
