The Sun Hydraulics RDJACSN (Material Number: RDJACSN) is a direct-acting relief cartridge designed to protect hydraulic components from pressure spikes by functioning as a normally closed, pressure-limiting valve. When the inlet port pressure reaches the valve's preset threshold, it opens to the tank port and throttles flow to limit further pressure increase. This model is characterized by its smooth, quiet operation, zero leakage, and high tolerance to dirt and contamination. It is also immune to silting and offers rapid response times. The RDJACSN cartridge is interchangeable with other 2-port relief cartridges of the same frame size, allowing for versatile applications such as load-holding circuits. It can handle maximum pressures up to 5000 psi (350 bar) and has a capacity of 200 gpm (760 L/min). The valve setting can be adjusted only when system pressure is removed, ensuring safety during maintenance or recalibration. Additionally, this model incorporates Sun's floating style construction to minimize internal binding due to installation torque or machining variations. With EPDM seal options available for systems using phosphate ester fluids, users must avoid exposure to petroleum-based substances that could damage these seals. The cartridge requires specific torque settings for installation and adjustment procedures: a valve installation torque of 350-375 lbf ft (474-508 Nm), an adjustment screw internal hex size of 5/32 in (4 mm), and locknut torque of 80-90 lbf in (9-10 Nm). With its robust design and reliable performance, the RDJACSN is suitable for diverse hydraulic applications requiring precise overpressure protection.

Description

Direct-acting relief cartridges are normally closed, pressure-limiting valves used to protect hydraulic components from pressure transients. When the pressure at the inlet (port 1) reaches the valve setting, the valve starts to open to tank (port 2), throttling flow to limit the pressure rise. These valves are smooth and quiet, essentially zero leak, dirt tolerant, immune to silting and are very fast.

All 2-port relief cartridges (except pilot reliefs) are physically and functionally interchangeable (same flow path, same cavity for a given frame size).
Will accept maximum pressure at port 2; suitable for use in cross port relief circuits.
The seals on the adjust screw are exposed to system pressure which means this valve can only be adjusted when the pressure is removed. The setting procedure is; check the setting, remove the pressure, adjust the valve, check the new setting.
Valve is relatively insensitive to varying oil temperatures and oil borne contamination.
Select a spring range where the desired relief setting is approximately mid-range to high between the minimum and maximum pressure to ensure maximum valve repeatability.
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.
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.

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.
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.
