The Sun Hydraulics RPECMBV (RPECMBV) is a pilot-operated, balanced piston relief cartridge designed to regulate pressure by opening to the tank port when the inlet pressure reaches a specified setting. This valve is known for its accuracy, low pressure rise versus flow, smooth operation, and moderate speed. It features interchangeability among 2-port relief cartridges of the same frame size and flow path, making it suitable for cross-port relief circuits while considering spool leakage. The main stage orifice is protected by a 150-micron stainless steel screen. However, it is not recommended for load-holding applications due to potential spool leakage. The valve's design incorporates Sun\u2019s floating style construction to minimize internal part binding from excessive installation torque or machining variations. It accepts maximum pressure at port 2 and features a back pressure on the tank port that directly adds to the valve setting at a 1:1 ratio. The RPECMBV can be equipped with EPDM seals for systems using phosphate ester fluids but should not be exposed to petroleum-based fluids as they can damage the seals. For corrosion resistance in harsh environments, options include external stainless steel components indicated by an \"AP\" suffix or zinc-nickel plating identified by an \"LH\" suffix in the model code. The valve capacity is rated at 25 gpm (95 L/min) with a maximum operating pressure of 5000 psi (350 bar). It has a typical response time of 10 ms and minimal leakage rates under specified conditions. Adjustments are made via an internal hex screw with specific torque settings required for installation and locknut adjustments. The cartridge also comes with Viton seal kits available separately.

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.
