The Sun Hydraulics RBAELBE (RBAELBE) is a two-port, pilot-stage, direct-acting relief cartridge valve designed for pressure regulation in hydraulic systems. This normally closed valve is fully adjustable and opens a flow path from port 1 to port 2 when the inlet pressure at port 1 exceeds the spring force setting. It utilizes the Sun T-8A two-port cavity, making it an optimal choice for integration with Sun's main stage pilot or vent-to-operate cartridges, eliminating the need for separate pilot lines. The valve features hardened poppet and seat components for consistent operation, low leakage rates, and superior wear resistance. It can handle pressures up to 5000 psi (350 bar) at both ports and incorporates Sun's floating style construction to minimize potential internal binding due to installation torque or machining variations. The RBAELBE model offers a capacity of 2.5 gpm (10 L/min) and exhibits a typical response time of 2 milliseconds. Maximum valve leakage is limited to 15 drops/minute (1 cc/min) at 110 SUS (24 cSt). Installation requires specific torques: the main stage valve should be installed first, followed by the T-8A pilot control section. The adjustment screw has an internal hex size of 5/32 inches (4 mm), while the locknut requires a hex size of 9/16 inches (15 mm) with a torque range of 80 to 90 lbf-in (9 to 10 Nm). Cartridges with EPDM seals are suitable for use with phosphate ester fluids but must avoid petroleum-based fluids. The RBAELBE model provides reliable pressure regulation with direct backpressure additivity from port 2 outlet to port 1 inlet pressure settings.

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.
