The Sun Hydraulics RBANXWN4A12A (RBANXWN4A12A) is a 2-port, pilot-stage, direct-acting relief cartridge designed for electroproportional control in hydraulic systems. This normally-closed pressure regulating valve is spring-biased closed to a customer-specified highest setting. By increasing the current to the coil, users can proportionally decrease the pressure setting. The valve operates by lifting the poppet when the inlet pressure at port 1 overcomes the combined spring and solenoid force, allowing flow to port 2. Designed for use with Sun's main stage pressure control elements, it utilizes a T8A cavity that simplifies installation by eliminating separate pilot lines and requiring only one cavity for both control and primary functions. This makes it an ideal choice for systems needing high pilot capacity to operate larger main stage elements. The RBANXWN4A12A offers stepless control of pressure by varying the analog input signal to its proportional solenoid. It features damped construction for stable operation across diverse conditions and demonstrates low leakage levels when closed, with reseat occurring at 85% of cracking pressure. Coils are interchangeable with other Sun solenoid-operated valves and can be mounted in either direction on the tube. For optimal performance, an amplifier with current sensing and adjustable dither (100-250 Hz) is recommended. The cartridge incorporates Sun's floating style construction to reduce internal binding risks due to excessive torque or machining variations. With a capacity of 0.25 gpm (1 L/min) and a maximum operating pressure of 5000 psi (350 bar), this valve is robust yet precise. Installation requires specific torques: 20-25 lbf ft (27-33 Nm). The model weighs approximately 1 lb (0.45 kg) with coil included, ensuring ease of integration into existing systems while maintaining high reliability and performance standards.

Description

This 2-port, pilot-stage, direct-acting relief cartridge is an electro-proportionally controlled, normally-closed pressure regulating valve. The valve is spring biased closed to its highest setting (customer specified). Increasing current to the coil will proportionally decrease the pressure setting. When the pressure at port 1 (inlet) is sufficient to overcome the spring force minus the solenoid force, as determined by the analog input signal, the poppet lifts and allows flow from port 1 to port 2 (outlet). This pilot control cartridge utilizes the T-8A cavity so it can be used in conjunction with Sun's main stage, pressure control elements.

Customer must specify a relief setting that falls within the selected pressure range. This setting represents the maximum relief pressure which the valve will default to with no command. As the command increases, the relief setting will decrease. See performance curves for selected pressure range. This setting is not adjustable in the field.
Varying the analog input signal to the proportional solenoid provides a step-less control of pressure.
This electro-proportional cartridge utilizes the Sun T-8A, 2-port cavity making it the ideal choice to use in conjunction with Sun's main stage 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-port pilot stage control cartridges utilize the same cavity and are physically interchangeable. Functionality is the only consideration.
High pilot capacity allows for operation of larger size main stage elements.
Damped construction provides stable operation over a wide range of operating conditions.
Low leakage levels in the closed position. (Reseat occurs at 85% of cracking pressure.)
Coils are interchangeable with Sun's other full flow, solenoid operated valves and can be mounted on the tube in either direction.
For optimum performance, an amplifier with current sensing and adjustable dither should be used. Dither should be adjustable between 100 - 250 Hz.
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.
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

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 do I get a kick-down relief to reset?	The kick-down relief acts much like a circuit breaker. When the pressure at the inlet (port 1) of the relief valve rises to the setting, the valve pops open and drops the pressure down to 100 psi or so. The valve stays open until flow through it stops. Shutting off the supply of oil will reset the valve; reversing pressure on the valve is a positive way of resetting it.
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.
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.
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.
