The Sun Hydraulics RPGCLKN (RPGCLKN) is a pilot-operated, balanced-piston relief cartridge designed for precise pressure regulation in hydraulic systems. This normally closed pressure regulating valve opens to the tank port when the inlet pressure reaches its set point, effectively throttling flow to maintain desired pressure levels. Known for its accuracy and low-pressure rise versus flow, this valve operates smoothly and quietly with moderate response speed. It features a main stage orifice protected by a 150-micron stainless steel screen and is suitable for cross-port relief circuits, accepting maximum pressure at port 2. However, it is not recommended for load-holding applications due to potential spool leakage. The RPGCLKN model offers versatility with interchangeable components across different frame sizes and configurations that include corrosion-resistant options identified by specific suffixes in the model code. It incorporates Sun's floating style construction to mitigate risks of internal binding from installation torque or machining variations. The valve's cavity is T-3A Series 2, with a capacity of 50 gpm (200 L/min), and it can operate at pressures up to 5000 psi (350 bar). Its typical response time is around 10 ms, with maximum leakage at specified conditions being minimal. Adjustments can be made using the W or Y control options without special settings unless specified otherwise. The valve's design also accommodates systems utilizing phosphate ester fluids when configured with EPDM seals; however, these seals are incompatible with petroleum-based substances. Installation requires specific torque settings for the valve and locknut hex sizes. The RPGCLKN weighs approximately 0.50 lb (0.25 kg) and comes with a Viton seal kit option under part number 990203006.

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.
