The Sun Hydraulics RPESKAN (Material Number: RPESKAN) is a pilot-operated, balanced-poppet relief cartridge designed for pressure regulation in hydraulic systems. This valve is normally closed and opens to the tank port when the inlet pressure reaches the set level, effectively throttling flow to maintain consistent pressure. It is known for its accuracy, smooth operation, quiet performance, rapid response time of approximately 7 ms, and low pressure rise relative to flow. The RPESKAN can handle a maximum operating pressure of 5000 psi (350 bar) and supports a flow capacity of up to 25 gpm (95 L/min). The valve's design makes it immune to cavitation-related issues such as noise and manifold erosion, thanks to its internal modulating mechanism. It can accept maximum pressure at port 2, making it suitable for cross-port relief circuits and load holding applications. The valve's performance remains stable despite variations in oil temperature or contamination levels due to its insensitivity to these factors. A 150-micron stainless steel screen protects the main stage orifice. For installation, the valve features a hex size of 7/8 inch (22.2 mm) with an installation torque range of 30-35 lbf\u00b7ft (41-47 Nm). The adjustment screw has an internal hex size of 5/32 inch (4 mm), while the locknut hex size is 9/16 inch (15 mm), with a torque specification of 80-90 lbf\u00b7in (9-10 Nm). The RPESKAN also incorporates Sun\u2019s floating style construction to minimize binding risks from excessive installation torque or machining variations in cavities or cartridges. It weighs approximately .30 lb (.15 kg) and uses Viton seals with seal kit number 990310006 available for maintenance needs.

Description

Pilot-operated, balanced-poppet 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, smooth, quiet, fast, and have low pressure rise vs. flow.

Because the modulating occurs inside the cartridge, these valves are immune to most of the problems associated with cavitation, namely noise and manifold erosion.
Will accept maximum pressure at port 2; suitable for use in cross port relief circuits.
Valve is relatively insensitive to varying oil temperatures and oil borne contamination.
Main stage orifice is protected by a 150 micron stainless steel screen.
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.
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.
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.
