Abstract:
A pressure control valve including a valve body opposing to a seat surface of a relief port connected to a pressure circuit, a first spring biasing said valve body onto said seat surface, for flowing out a part of fluid within said pressure circuit to hold the fluid pressure in said pressure circuit at a predetermined set pressure when the fluid pressure in said pressure circuit is higher than or equal to the set pressure, a pilot piston arranged movably in expansion and contraction direction of said spring at an end portion of said spring remote from said valve body, said pilot piston moves in a direction for compressing said spring when a predetermined pressure of a pilot fluid is input, and a spring force of said spring is increased and decreased by varying compression force of said spring by moving said pilot piston depending upon increasing and decreasing of the pressure of said pilot fluid, and spring initial valve adjusting means having an initial valve adjusting spring modifying an initial spring force of said first spring by varying said pilot piston to a position proximal to said valve body and a position remote from said valve body when said pilot fluid is input, such that the initial spring force is increased when the predetermined pilot fluid pressure is increased and the initial spring force is decreased when the predetermined pilot fluid pressure is decreased.
