Abstract: Described herein is a safety valve for a hydraulic circuit comprising a pump designed to supply a hydraulic fluid at a first pressure value to a pressure line, comprising: a chamber, which can be fluidically connected to the pressure line and is filled with the hydraulic fluid at a pressure value and a temperature value; and a casing with an opening, which can be connected to a reservoir of the hydraulic circuit; a shutter, which delimits the first chamber and can be displaced between a first position, in which it occludes the first opening, and a second position, in which it leaves the opening at least in part free; the valve comprises a thermally expandable element, which can be displaced, as a result of the temperature of the hydraulic fluid, between a first configuration that it assumes when the temperature of the hydraulic fluid is below the threshold value and a second configuration that it assumes when the temperature of the hydraulic fluid is above the temperature threshold value and in which it holds or displaces the first shutter in or towards the second position so as to reduce the pressure in the first chamber.
