The Sun Hydraulics PBFCABV (PBFCABV) is an air-controlled, pilot-operated pressure reducing cartridge that utilizes compressed air over a diaphragm to adjust the hydraulic setting, offering a 20:1 hydraulic-to-air pressure ratio. This design enables the reduction of high primary pressure at inlet port 2 to a consistent reduced pressure at port 1. The air signal is introduced through a port in the hex end of the cartridge, allowing for explosion-proof remote control. The PBFCABV model supports full reverse flow from reduced pressure port 1 to inlet port 2; however, if reverse free flow is needed, incorporating a separate check valve in the circuit is recommended. The valve's maximum operating pressure is rated at 2000 psi (140 bar), with an adjustment range between 50 and 1500 psi (3.5 to 105 bar). It should be noted that the maximum air pressure should not exceed 150 psi (10.5 bar) due to diaphragm strength limitations, and the maximum differential pressure between inlet and outlet should not exceed 3000 psi (210 bar). This cartridge features Sun's floating style construction to minimize internal binding risks caused by excessive installation torque or cavity machining variations. The PBFCABV model fits into T-2A cavities and supports a capacity of up to 20 gpm (80 L/min). Its installation requires specific torques for both valve installation and locknut adjustments, ensuring secure and optimal performance. Additionally, it incorporates design elements that make it interchangeable with other three-port reducing and reducing-relieving cartridges within its frame size, providing flexibility in various mounting configurations.

Description

Air-controlled, pilot-operated pressure reducing cartridges use compressed air over a diaphragm instead of an adjustable spring as the setting to reduce a high primary pressure at the inlet (port 2) to a constant reduced pressure at port 1. The air signal is supplied through a port in the hex-end of the cartridge and the hydraulic setting is directly proportional to the air setting at a ratio of 20:1 (hydraulic:air).

All three-port pressure reducing and reducing/relieving cartridges are physically interchangeable (i.e. same flow path, same cavity for a given frame size). When considering mounting configurations, it is sometimes recommended that a full capacity return line (port 3) be used with reducing/relieving cartridges.
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.
The pressure at port 3 determines the minimum valve setting and should not exceed 1000 psi (70 bar).
The full adjustment range is 50 to 1500 psi (3,5 to 105 bar).
Maximum air pressure should not exceed 150 psi (10,5 bar) due to the strength of the diaphragm.
Maximum pressure differential, inlet to outlet, should not exceed 3000 psi (210 bar).
Pilot operated reducing, reducing/relieving valves by nature are not fast acting valves. For superior dynamic response, consider direct acting valves.
The air control feature allows explosion proof remote control.
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.
