The Sun Hydraulics RBAACAV (RBAACAV) is a direct-acting, pilot relief cartridge designed for remote pressure control in hydraulic systems. This valve is ideal for load-holding applications and operates by controlling the pressure setting of other pilot-operated valves. It features a main stage orifice protected by a 150-micron stainless steel screen, ensuring reliability and protection against contaminants. The valve is suitable for systems with phosphate ester fluids when configured with EPDM seals, as exposure to petroleum-based fluids can damage these seals. It offers corrosion-resistant options identified by model code suffixes AP or LH, which provide external stainless steel or zinc-nickel plated components respectively. The Sun Hydraulics floating style construction minimizes internal binding due to installation torque or machining variations. This cartridge fits into a T-3A cavity and has a capacity of 0.5 gpm (2 L/min) with a maximum operating pressure of 5000 psi (350 bar). Typical response time is 2 milliseconds, and maximum valve leakage at 110 SUS (24 cSt) is minimal at 5 drops/min (0.3 cc/min). Adjustment to increase the setting involves five clockwise turns, with specific torque requirements for installation and adjustment components provided in the specifications. The valve's robust design makes it suitable for applications requiring fast response and dirt tolerance while maintaining stability under varying conditions. The RBAACAV model weighs approximately 0.50 lb (0.25 kg), and its dimensions are conducive to compact installations without sacrificing performance capabilities. This product includes additional resources such as technical tips and performance data to assist in optimal application and configuration within hydraulic systems.

Description

Direct-acting, pilot relief cartridges are used to remotely control the pressure setting of other pilot-operated valves. Because capacity is limited to pilot flow, these valves should be used with other higher flow valves.

Main stage orifice is protected by a 150 micron stainless steel screen.
Suitable for use in load holding applications.
Back pressure on the tank port (port 2) is directly additive to the valve setting at a 1:1 ratio.
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.
W and Y controls (where applicable) can be specified with or without a special setting. When no special setting is specified, the valve is adjustable throughout its full range using the W or Y control. When a special setting is specified, this setting represents the maximum setting of the valve.
Corrosion resistant cartridge valves are intended for use in corrosive environments and are identified by the model code suffix /AP for external stainless steel components, or /LH for external zinc-nickel plated components. See the CONFIGURATION section for all options. For further details, please see the Materials of Construction page located under TECH RESOURCES.
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.

For Series 2 cartridges configured with an O control (panel mount handknob), a 1.00 in. (25,4 mm) diameter hole is required in the panel.

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.
Where would I use a kick-down relief?	One graphic example is on a portable grain auger for silos. When the farmer gets caught in the auger the kick-down relief trips and allows him to escape.
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.
How big is a drop of hydraulic oil?	There are exactly 250 Sun drops in a cubic inch or 15 in a cc.
Can I use a kick-down relief for my system relief?	Maybe not. We build in a good amount of overlap in the kick-down reliefs to prevent false tripping. This means they are not as fast as our standard pilot-operated reliefs. A direct-acting relief valve set just above the kick-down relief valve would be good insurance.
