While efforts have been made to provide accurate details, inaccuracies may occur. It is advised to verify all information by contacting Sun Hydraulics directly.***
The Sun Hydraulics RBAAYEN (RBAAYEN) is a direct-acting pilot relief cartridge valve designed to remotely control the pressure settings of other pilot-operated valves. This particular model is best used in conjunction with higher flow valves due to its limited capacity to pilot flow. It features a main stage orifice protected by a 150-micron stainless steel screen, making it suitable for load holding applications. Notably, back pressure on the tank port (port 2) directly adds to the valve setting at a 1:1 ratio. The valve can be configured with EPDM seals for use in systems with phosphate ester fluids, though exposure to petroleum-based fluids can damage these seals. Corrosion-resistant variants are available, identified by suffixes AP or LH in the model code, indicating external stainless steel or zinc-nickel plated components respectively. The valve incorporates Sun's floating style construction to minimize potential internal binding issues due to excessive torque or machining variations. It has a cavity size of T-3A and operates efficiently at a maximum pressure of 5000 psi (350 bar). With a typical response time of 2 milliseconds and minimal leakage at maximum conditions, this cartridge ensures reliable performance. Adjustment is straightforward, requiring up to five clockwise turns to increase the setting, and it includes specific hex sizes for both adjustment screw and locknut. Weighing just 0.50 lb (0.25 kg), it is compact yet robust enough for various hydraulic applications requiring precise pressure control and reliability in potentially corrosive environments.

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.
