Cylinder Extending

System pressure will equal the resistance to the work being done, and in this case 2,300 PSI to move the load.

2,300 PSI is lower than the setting of the Pressure Relief Valve.

Blue = Low PSI

Red = High PSI

Cylinder Reaches End of Stroke

Pressure in the system above reaches a maximum level because the cylinder reaches the end of its stroke.

The hydraulic fluid has no where to go, so the pressure increases to the level set on the System Relief Valve, at which point it unloads all flow to tank.

System Pressure is unable to exceed a pressure greater that what you set at the Relief Valve.
