1. Model Definition and Classification
1.1 Model Identification
• Possible Interpretations:
• Excavator Model Association: If "800/1200" refers to Komatsu excavator series (e.g., PC800, PC1200), the relief valve is a hydraulic component for these models.
• Pressure Rating Indication: If indicating pressure ranges (e.g., 800 bar/1200 psi), confirm with product specifications.
• Internal Code: Komatsu may use "800/1200" as a series code for relief valves (e.g., KMSV-800/KMSV-1200).
Recommendation:
• Prioritize official Komatsu part numbers (e.g.,705-12-31420for PC800 valves).
• If unavailable, use:"Komatsu Compatible Relief Valve for PC800/PC1200".
1.2 Valve Types
Based on hydraulic system functions, possible types include:
• Main Relief Valve: Limits maximum system pressure to protect hydraulic pumps from overloading.
• Pilot-Operated Relief Valve: Uses a pilot oil circuit for faster response and precise control.
• Proportional Relief Valve: Supports electronic pressure adjustment for advanced applications.

2. Core Functions and Technical Specifications
2.1 Functional Description
• Pressure Protection: Opens when system pressure exceeds the preset value, diverting excess hydraulic oil back to the tank to prevent pipeline or component failure.
• Pressure Stabilization: Maintains stable pressure during load variations, ensuring normal operation of actuators (e.g., hydraulic cylinders, motors).
• Remote Pressure Adjustment(select models): Enables pressure regulation via external pilot circuits.

3.2 Common Failures and Solutions
【表格】
Symptom Probable Cause Solution
Insufficient Pressure Low relief valve setting or stuck spool Readjust pressure; clean spool and replace seals
Pressure Fluctuation Fatigued spring or contaminated pilot line Replace spring; clean pilot valve and filter
Frequent Valve Opening Overload or worn spool Check load limits; replace spool assembly
Oil Leakage Aged O-rings or cracked valve body Replace seals; repair or replace valve body
