The Sun Hydraulics RPCCFAV (Material Number: RPCCFAV) is a pilot-operated, balanced piston relief cartridge designed for precise pressure regulation in hydraulic systems. This normally closed valve opens to tank port 2 when the inlet port 1 pressure reaches the set threshold, effectively throttling flow to maintain desired pressure levels. Known for its accuracy and low pressure rise versus flow characteristics, this valve operates smoothly and quietly with moderate response speed. It offers interchangeability across all 2-port relief cartridges, sharing the same flow path and cavity size within a given frame size. The RPCCFAV can handle maximum pressure at port 2, making it suitable for cross-port relief circuits, although spool leakage should be considered in these applications. It has a minimum setting of 75 psi (5 bar) across all spring ranges and is not recommended for load-holding applications due to potential leakage. The valve's design includes protection against contamination for the main stage orifice and features Sun's floating style construction to reduce internal binding risks from excessive torque or machining variations. It supports systems using phosphate ester fluids with EPDM seal configurations while cautioning against exposure to petroleum-based substances that could damage seals. The cartridge fits into a T-16-2A cavity and handles a capacity of up to 12 gpm (45 L/min) with a maximum operating pressure of 5000 psi (350 bar). Typical response time is around 10 ms, with maximum leakage at 110 SUS (24 cSt) being approximately 2 in\u00b3/min at 1000 psi (30 cc/min at 70 bar). Installation requires specific torque settings for both the valve body and adjustment screw components.

Description

Pilot-operated, balanced-piston relief cartridges are normally closed pressure regulating valves. When the pressure at the inlet (port 1) reaches the valve setting, the valve starts to open to tank (port 2), throttling flow to regulate the pressure. These valves are accurate, have low pressure rise vs. flow, they are smooth and quiet, and are moderately 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. If used in cross port relief circuits, consider spool leakage.
Minimum setting is 75 psi (5 bar) for all spring ranges.
Not suitable for use in load holding applications due to spool leakage.
Back pressure on the tank port (port 2) is directly additive to the valve setting at a 1:1 ratio.
The main stage orifice is protected against contamination.
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.

Show FAQ

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.
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.
