Abstract
A pressure relief valve for a hydraulic system for controlling a belt-driven conical-pulley transmission. The valve includes an orifice having an opening to admit a stream of a hydraulic medium, and a valve cone to block the opening in the orifice. A spring is carried by the valve cone to apply a restoring force to press the valve cone against the orifice in sealing contact with the opening. A hydraulic plate having a valve bore is provided to receive and guide the valve cone and the spring. A lateral force support is carried by the valve cone to align the axis of the valve cone relative to the axis of the orifice opening.
