The Sun Hydraulics RPGCWQN (Material Number: RPGCWQN) is a pilot-operated, balanced-piston relief cartridge designed for pressure regulation in hydraulic systems. This valve is normally closed and begins to open to the tank port once the inlet pressure reaches the set threshold, effectively throttling flow to maintain desired pressure levels. Notable for its accuracy and smooth operation, this valve offers low-pressure rise relative to flow and moderate response speed, making it suitable for various applications where precise pressure control is needed. The RPGCWQN model features a main stage orifice protected by a 150-micron stainless steel screen and is compatible with maximum pressures at port 2, allowing its use in cross-port relief circuits\u2014though users should consider potential spool leakage. The valve's design incorporates Sun's floating style construction to reduce the risk of internal binding due to installation torque or machining variations. It is important to note that this cartridge should not be used in load-holding applications because of potential leakage. Additionally, back pressure on the tank port directly adds to the valve setting at a 1:1 ratio. Cartridges with EPDM seals are intended for systems using phosphate ester fluids; exposure to petroleum-based substances can damage these seals. The valve allows adjustment throughout its full range using W or Y controls unless a special setting is specified, which then represents its maximum setting. For corrosion resistance, options include external stainless steel components (suffix AP) or zinc-nickel plating (suffix LH). The RPGCWQN has a capacity of 50 gpm (200 L/min), operates at pressures up to 5000 psi (350 bar), and has a typical response time of 10 ms. It requires specific installation torque and hex sizes for secure fitting and adjustment.

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.
