While efforts have been made to provide accurate details, inaccuracies may occur. It is advised to verify all information by contacting Sun Hydraulics directly.***
The Sun Hydraulics RPECKWN (Material Number: RPECKWN) is a pilot-operated, balanced-piston relief cartridge valve 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 point, effectively throttling flow to maintain desired pressure levels. Notable for its accuracy and smooth operation, it exhibits a low pressure rise versus flow and operates quietly with moderate speed. The RPECKWN model is interchangeable with other 2-port relief cartridges, featuring the same flow path and cavity dimensions for a given frame size. It can handle maximum pressure at port 2, making it suitable for cross-port relief circuits; however, users should account for spool leakage in such applications. The main stage orifice is safeguarded by a 150-micron stainless steel screen to ensure optimal performance. This cartridge is not recommended for load-holding applications due to potential spool leakage. Back pressure on tank port 2 directly affects the valve setting at a 1:1 ratio. Cartridges equipped with EPDM seals are compatible with phosphate ester fluids but may suffer damage if exposed to petroleum-based substances. The valve features W and Y control options that allow full-range adjustability unless a specific maximum setting is specified. Corrosion-resistant variants are available, identified by suffixes AP or LH in the model code, indicating external stainless steel or zinc-nickel plating respectively. The Sun floating style construction minimizes binding risks from installation torque or machining variations of cavity/cartridge interfaces. The RPECKWN has a capacity of 25 gpm (95 L/min), operates up to 5000 psi (350 bar), and typically responds within 10 ms. It requires specific installation torques and hex sizes for adjustment screw and locknut operations, ensuring secure and precise adjustments in hydraulic systems where reliable pressure regulation is critical.

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.
Main stage orifice is protected by a 150 micron stainless steel screen.
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.
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.
W and Y controls (where applicable) can be specified with or without a special setting. When no special setting is specified, the valve is adjustable throughout its full range using the W or Y control. When a special setting is specified, this setting represents the maximum setting of the valve.
Corrosion resistant cartridge valves are intended for use in corrosive environments and are identified by the model code suffix /AP for external stainless steel components, or /LH for external zinc-nickel plated components. See the CONFIGURATION section for all options. For further details, please see the Materials of Construction page located under TECH RESOURCES.
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.

Notes:

For Series 1 cartridges configured with an O control (panel mount handknob), a .75 in. (19 mm) diameter hole is required in the panel.

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.
