The Sun Hydraulics RBAEKBV (RBAEKBV) is a two-port, pilot-stage, direct-acting relief cartridge designed for pressure regulation. This fully adjustable valve remains normally closed until the inlet pressure at port 1 surpasses the preset spring force, subsequently opening a flow path to port 2. It utilizes the Sun T8A two-port cavity, making it compatible with Sun's main stage pilot or vent-to-operate cartridges, thereby eliminating the need for separate pilot lines and reducing machining requirements. The RBAEKBV can handle pressures up to 5000 psi (350 bar) at both ports. It features a hardened poppet and seat for consistent operation, low leakage rates, and enhanced wear resistance. Backpressure at port 2 is directly additive to the setting at port 1. For systems using phosphate ester fluids, cartridges with EPDM seals are available; however, these should not be exposed to petroleum-based substances as they may cause seal damage. The valve incorporates Sun's floating style construction to prevent internal binding due to excessive torque or machining variations. With a capacity of 2.5 gpm (10 L/min), factory pressure settings are established at a flow rate of 30 cc/min. The maximum valve leakage is rated at 15 drops/min (1 cc/min) under specific conditions. Installation requires a torque of 20-25 lbf ft (27-33 Nm), with adjustment screw and locknut hex sizes specified for precise handling during setup.

Description

Two-port, pilot-stage, direct-acting relief cartridges are fully adjustable, normally closed pressure regulating valves. When the pressure at port 1 (inlet) is sufficient to overcome the spring force (valve setting), a flow path is opened from port 1 to port 2 (tank).

Utilizes the Sun T-8A 2-port cavity making it the ideal choice to use in conjunction with Sun's main stage pilot or vent-to-operate cartridges. Separate pilot lines are eliminated and only one cavity needs to be machined to accommodate both the control and primary function. Note: All 2-position, 2-way pilot stage control cartridges utilize the same cavity and are physically interchangeable. Functionality is the only consideration.
Note: The main stage valve should first be installed to the correct torque value followed by the T-8A pilot control section into the main stage valve to its required torque value.
Ports 1 and 2 may be pressured to 5000 psi (350 bar).
Hardened poppet and seat provide consistent operation, low leakage rates and superior wear characteristics.
Backpressure at port 2 (outlet) is directly additive to the pressure setting at port 1 (inlet).
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.
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 1 cartridges configured with an O control (panel mount handknob), a .75 in. (19 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.
