Danfoss Power Solutions has introduced a groundbreaking full-flow high-pressure relief valve (FHPRV) for its H1B bent-axis motor, further enhancing the capabilities of its high-power axial piston motors. This innovative solution is designed to protect motors in demanding applications by providing overpressure relief while maintaining compactness and efficiency.

Key Features of the FHPRV
The FHPRV is a bolt-on valve that delivers high-flow pressure relief directly at the motor, ensuring critical protection in high-power applications. It can handle up to 600 liters per minute, depending on size, making it one of the highest flow rates available for this type of valve.
Benefits Include:
- Motor Protection: Prevents damage to the motor and pump during extended overpressure situations.
- Compact Design: Offers full-flow relief functionality without increasing motor size or circuit complexity.
- Versatility: It can be stacked with other valves, such as the counterbalance valve (CBV), for additional functionality.
Applications and Advantages
The FHPRV expands the use of Danfoss H1B motors in open-circuit systems, which are commonly utilized in applications such as:
- Drilling functions
- Crushing and shredding operations
- Heavy-duty excavator attachments
- Forestry machinery
Unlike traditional low-speed, high-torque motors, Danfoss H1B motors feature a delta pressure rating of up to 450 bar (480 bar absolute), making them ideal for higher-pressure applications. Kenny Befus, High-Power Portfolio Manager at Danfoss Power Solutions, stated: “With our full-flow high-pressure relief valve, we can provide a better match when it comes to power and pressure for demanding applications.”
Configurations for Various Motor Sizes
The FHPRV is available in four configurations tailored to specific H1B motor displacements:
- DN19: Compatible with 60cc motors.
- DN25: Suitable for 80cc and 110cc motors.
- DN32A: Designed for 160cc motors.
- DN32B: Works with 210cc and 250cc motors.
This modularity ensures that machine designers can select the perfect configuration based on their application needs.
Impact on Industry Efficiency
By enabling machine designers to leverage the compact design and efficiency of the H1B motor while providing robust overpressure protection, the FHPRV simplifies system integration and reduces costs compared to remote-mount manifolds. This innovation aligns with Danfoss’s commitment to delivering cutting-edge solutions that enhance performance and reliability in heavy-duty applications.
Looking Ahead
The launch of the FHPRV reinforces Danfoss’s leadership in hydraulic solutions by addressing critical challenges in high-power systems. With its ability to protect equipment while optimizing performance, this new valve is expected to gain traction across industries requiring durable and efficient hydraulic components.
