The Sun Hydraulics RPCCKQE (Material Number: RPCCKQE) is a pilot-operated, balanced piston relief cartridge designed for precise pressure regulation in hydraulic systems. This normally closed valve opens to the tank port when the inlet pressure reaches the preset level, effectively throttling flow to maintain desired pressure levels. Known for its accuracy and low pressure rise versus flow, this valve operates smoothly and quietly with moderate response speed. It is compatible with various systems due to its interchangeable design across frame sizes, allowing it to be used in cross-port relief circuits, although spool leakage should be considered in such applications. The valve has a minimum setting of 75 psi (5 bar) and can withstand a maximum operating pressure of 5000 psi (350 bar). Additional features include protection against contamination in the main stage orifice and compatibility with EPDM seals for phosphate ester fluid systems. However, exposure to petroleum-based fluids can damage these seals. The Sun floating style construction minimizes internal part binding due to installation torque or machining variations. The valve has a capacity of 12 gpm (45 L/min) and exhibits a typical response time of 10 ms. It is not suitable for load-holding applications because of spool leakage but offers reliable performance in standard pressure regulating scenarios. Adjustments can be made using an internal hex screw with specific torque requirements for installation and locknut adjustments. This robust cartridge valve weighs approximately .20 lb (.10 kg) and is designed for easy integration into existing hydraulic systems where precise pressure control is required.

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

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.
