Abstract

A pressure control valve including a valve, a spring for pressing the valve, and a power input means for compressing the spring further comprises a backup force-generating mechanism for producing and directing a backup force counter to the direction in which the reaction force due to the compression of the spring is exerted on the input means, so as to impart the backup force to the input means.
