Overload relief valve and anticavitation valve

When the steering wheel is not being turned, the oil between the orbitrol and the cylinder is sealed in.
If external force is applied to the steering cylinder under this condition, high pressure would be created in the circuit, and that pressurized oil might cause a ruptured pipe or cylinder, a bent piston rod, or some other problem, unless the oil is allowed to escape.

The overload relief valve directs this pressurized oil to the tank. (Relief pressure setting = 210kg/cm2) (2,987psi)
The set pressure of the overload relief valve can be adjusted by turning the adjusting screw.
When the overload relief valve opens and causes the oil in the cylinder to escape to the tank, the pressure in the opposite section of the cylinder (the rod end of the cylinder in the figure) become negative. When that happens, the anticavitation valve opens and directs oil from the tank into cylinder, canceling the negative pressure in the cylinder.
NOTE: Unless the orbitrol is removed, it is impossible to adjust the overload relief valve.
