The Sun Hydraulics RPESKAV (Material Number: RPESKAV) is a pilot-operated, balanced-poppet 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 preset level, effectively throttling flow to manage pressure with accuracy, smoothness, and minimal noise. Its design minimizes issues related to cavitation such as noise and manifold erosion. The valve can handle maximum pressure at port 2, making it suitable for cross-port relief circuits and load holding applications. It is relatively unaffected by oil temperature variations and contamination due to its robust construction. The main stage orifice is shielded by a 150-micron stainless steel screen, ensuring durability and reliability. The valve's back pressure on tank port 2 directly contributes to the valve setting at a 1:1 ratio. It features Sun's floating style construction to reduce the risk of internal part binding caused by excessive installation torque or machining variations in the cavity/cartridge. With a capacity of up to 25 gpm (95 L/min) and a maximum operating pressure of 5000 psi (350 bar), this cartridge offers fast response times typically around 7 ms with minimal leakage at specified conditions. The adjustment mechanism allows for fine-tuning throughout its range using W or Y controls unless a special setting is specified, which then represents the maximum setting. Installation requires specific torque values, with detailed specifications provided for adjustment screw sizes and locknut torque requirements. The unit weighs approximately .30 lb (.15 kg) and comes with a Viton seal kit (990310006) 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.
