A hydraulic arrangement (1) including a supply port (P), a return port (T), a working port arrangement (L, R), and a valve (2) controlling a supply of hydraulic fluid from the supply port (P) to the working port arrangement (L, R), wherein the valve (2) includes a housing (4) and a spool (3) movable in lengthwise direction in the housing (4) and forming together with the housing (4) at least one flow path the resistance of which depends on the position of the spool (3) in the housing (4), and the spool (3) is actuated by a hydraulic pilot pressure (21, 22) in a pressure chamber (7, 8). In such a hydraulic arrangement a safety functionality should be achieved in a simple way. To this end the housing (4) includes a pilot pressure relief port (20) connected to the return port (T) via a shut-off valve (10) and the spool (3) after a predetermined stroke (13, 14) opens a connection between the pressure chamber (7, 8) and the pilot pressure relief port (20).
A hydraulic arrangement comprising a supply port, a return port, a working port arrangement, and a valve controlling a supply of hydraulic fluid from the supply port to the working port arrangement, wherein the valve comprises a housing and a spool movable in lengthwise direction in the housing and forming together with the housing at least one flow path the resistance of which depends on the position of the spool in the housing, and the spool is actuated by a hydraulic pilot pressure in a pressure chamber, wherein the housing comprises a pilot pressure relief port connected to the return port via a shut-off valve and the spool after a predetermined stroke opens a connection between the pressure chamber and the pilot pressure relief port,
