The Sun Hydraulics PBBBKNV (PBBBKNV) is a pilot-operated pressure reducing valve designed to efficiently manage hydraulic systems with varying pressure requirements. This valve reduces a high primary pressure at the inlet port 2 to a consistent reduced pressure at port 1, allowing for the effective operation of circuits with multiple pressure needs using a single pump. It features a minimum setting of 75 psi (5 bar) and exhibits exceptionally flat pressure-flow characteristics, ensuring stability and low hysteresis during operation. The valve can handle a maximum operating pressure of 5000 psi (350 bar), with control pilot flow ranging from 7 to 10 in\u00b3/min (0.11 to 0.16 L/min). The Sun floating style construction minimizes internal parts binding due to excessive installation torque or machining variations. The PBBBKNV model is equipped with an adjustment mechanism that allows for precise setting adjustments through five clockwise turns, with an internal hex size of 5/32 inches (4 mm). Locknut torque is maintained between 80 to 90 lbf-in (9 to 10 Nm), ensuring secure installation and operation. The valve's compact design, with a weight of only .30 lb (.15 kg), makes it suitable for various hydraulic applications where space and weight are considerations. Additionally, it incorporates features that allow full reverse flow from reduced pressure port 1 to inlet port 2, though adding a separate check valve is recommended if reverse free flow is required in the circuit. The PBBBKNV valve is adaptable for various applications due to its robust design and ease of adjustment, providing reliable performance in managing complex hydraulic systems while maintaining optimal operational stability across different settings.

Description

Pilot-operated, pressure reducing valves reduce a high primary pressure at the inlet (port 2) to a constant reduced pressure at port 1, allowing circuits with multiple pressure requirements to be operated using a single pump.

Full reverse flow from reduced pressure (port 1) to inlet (port 2) may cause the main spool to close. If reverse free flow is required in the circuit, consider adding a separate check valve to the circuit.
Minimum setting is 75 psi (5 bar) for all spring ranges.
Pilot operated valves exhibit exceptionally flat pressure/flow characteristics, are very stable and have low hysteresis.
Pressure at port 3 is directly additive to the valve setting at a 1:1 ratio and should not exceed 5000 psi (350 bar).
Incorporates the Sun floating style construction to minimize the possibility of internal parts binding due to excessive installation torque and/or cavity/cartridge machining variations.

Show FAQ

Direct acting or pilot operated - what do I use?	Direct-acting valves are used to prevent over pressure, and pilot-operated valves are used to regulate pressure. If you are unsure, use a direct-acting valve. Sun's direct acting valves are very fast, dirt tolerant, stable, and robust. Sun's pilot-operated valves are moderately fast, they have a low pressure rise vs. flow curve, and they are easy to adjust.
How big is a drop of hydraulic oil?	There are exactly 250 Sun drops in a cubic inch or 15 in a cc.
What are the tolerances on pressure settings for Sun's pressure control valves?	Pressure setting tolerances are listed in our Performance Data page. A link to this page can also be found in the Additional Resources tab of the applicable product page.
Can I back flow through a reducing valve from port 1 to port 2?	Yes. A reducing or reducing/relieving valve is normally open. If the pressure in the secondary circuit is less than the setting, it will be open.2 caveats: (1) If the valve is in the reducing mode and you suddenly reverse the flow, the valve will not have time to open and will shift into relieving mode or (2) If the back flow generates a pressure drop through the valve that exceeds the setting, the valve will shift into the relieving mode.When in doubt, use a reverse flow check.
I need a reducer on B. Can I connect the drain to A?	Yes. If you look in the sandwich section you will see that we offer many such packages. When you are pressurizing B, A is connected to tank, allowing the reducer to do its job. When you reverse, the drain or tank port of the reducer is pressurized by A. This increases the setting of the reducer and helps keep the reducer open in the reverse flow direction.
What do you mean by maximum differential?	Our reducing valves are outside-in valves; the supply pressure on the outside of the working parts is higher than the inside. At some pressure differential, the outside (sleeve) will close in on the piston and cause the valve to stick. A D range is adjustable from 25 to 800 psi with a maximum differential of 2000 psi. This means you could set the valve at 600 psi and expect it to work correctly with a supply pressure of 2600 psi. The valve may work at higher differentials, but we do not recommend it. The W and C ranges are tested over their entire range with an inlet pressure of 5000 psi. All direct-acting valves are tested with an inlet pressure of 5000 psi.
