The Sun Hydraulics RPGCKSE (RPGCKSE) 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 set threshold, effectively throttling flow to maintain consistent pressure levels. Known for its accuracy and low-pressure rise versus flow characteristics, this valve operates smoothly and quietly with moderate speed. The RPGCKSE is interchangeable with other 2-port relief cartridges of the same frame size, sharing both flow path and cavity dimensions. It can handle maximum pressure at port 2, making it suitable for cross-port relief circuits; however, spool leakage should be considered in such applications. The main stage orifice is safeguarded by a 150-micron stainless steel screen, though it's not recommended for load-holding applications due to potential leakage. Back pressure at tank port 2 directly influences the valve setting at a 1:1 ratio. The cartridge can be configured with EPDM seals for compatibility with phosphate ester fluids but should avoid petroleum-based substances to prevent seal damage. Options like W and Y controls offer adjustable settings throughout their range unless a special setting is specified as the maximum limit. Corrosion-resistant versions are available with external stainless steel or zinc-nickel plating, identified by model code suffixes AP or LH respectively. This valve features Sun's floating style construction to reduce internal binding risks from installation torque or machining variations. It has a capacity of 50 gpm (200 L/min) and operates at a maximum pressure of 5000 psi (350 bar), with typical response times around 10 ms. Installation requires specific torque values and adjustments via an internal hex screw mechanism, ensuring secure and stable operation within hydraulic systems requiring reliable pressure control solutions.

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.
