The Sun Hydraulics PBJFLCV (PBJFLCV) is a highly efficient pilot-operated pressure reducing valve designed to reduce a high primary pressure at inlet port 2 to a constant reduced pressure at port 1, enabling the operation of circuits with multiple pressure requirements using a single pump. This valve features the main stage orifice drilled into the piston, enhancing its durability in physically demanding applications. The valve is compatible with systems using phosphate ester fluids when configured with EPDM seals; exposure to petroleum-based fluids can damage these seals. It is important to note that full reverse flow from reduced pressure port 1 to inlet port 2 may close the main spool, so incorporating a separate check valve might be necessary if reverse free flow is required. For applications where pilot flow consumption is critical, direct-acting reducing-relieving valves are recommended. The PBJFLCV operates within various adjustment ranges: D, E, N, and Q are suitable for up to 2000 psi (140 bar) maximum differential between inlet and reduced pressure; A, B, and H handle up to 3000 psi (210 bar); C and W accommodate up to 5000 psi (350 bar). The valve exhibits flat pressure-flow characteristics, stability, and low hysteresis but is not fast-acting compared to direct-acting valves. Pressure at port 3 adds directly at a 1:1 ratio and should not exceed 5000 psi (350 bar). The valve incorporates Sun's floating style construction for minimized internal binding risks due to installation torque or machining variations. This cartridge has an impressive capacity of up to 80 gpm (320 L/min), with factory pressure settings established at blocked control ports. It supports maximum operating pressures of up to 5000 psi (350 bar) and requires an installation torque between 350 - 375 lbf ft (474 - 508 Nm). The PBJFLCV also allows backflow through the reducing valve under specific conditions and provides flexibility for various configurations in hydraulic systems.

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.

These valves have the main stage orifice drilled into the piston rather than a staked-in orifice. This allows the valve to survive physically demanding applications.
Cartridges configured with EPDM seals are for use in systems with phosphate ester fluids. Exposure to petroleum based fluids, greases and lubricants will damage the seals.
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.
If pilot flow consumption is critical, consider using direct acting reducing/relieving valves.
Recommended maximum inlet pressure is determined by the adjustment range. Ranges D, E, N, and Q are tested with a 2000 psi (140 bar) maximum differential between inlet and reduced pressure. Ranges A, B, and H are tested with a 3000 psi (210 bar) maximum differential between inlet and reduced pressure. Ranges C and W are tested with 5000 psi (350 bar) of inlet pressure.
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).
Pilot operated reducing, reducing/relieving valves by nature are not fast acting valves. For superior dynamic response, consider direct acting valves.
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.
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

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.
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.
