The Sun Hydraulics RPGEQQV (RPGEQQV) is a fast-acting, pilot-operated, balanced piston relief cartridge designed to protect hydraulic components from pressure transients. This normally closed, pressure-limiting valve opens quickly to manage sudden pressure spikes by throttling flow to the tank port when inlet pressure reaches the valve setting. It features a low-pressure rise versus flow and rapid response time, making it ideal for applications requiring immediate pressure relief. The RPGEQQV is suitable for cross-port relief circuits and can handle maximum pressure at port 2, though spool leakage should be considered in such applications. The main stage orifice is safeguarded by a 150-micron stainless steel screen, ensuring durability and reliability under challenging conditions. This model incorporates Sun's floating style construction to reduce the risk of internal binding due to installation torque or machining variations. It is not recommended for load-holding applications because of potential spool leakage. The valve's back pressure on tank port 2 directly affects the valve setting at a 1:1 ratio. For systems using phosphate ester fluids, cartridges with EPDM seals are available; however, these seals are incompatible with petroleum-based substances. The RPGEQQV has a cavity size of T-3A Series 2 and offers a capacity of up to 50 gpm (200 L/min). It operates at a maximum pressure of 5000 psi (350 bar) with typical response times around 2 ms. Maximum leakage is minimal at specified conditions, ensuring efficient performance without excessive fluid loss. The valve's adjustment mechanism allows for precise control with up to five clockwise turns needed to increase settings. Installation requires specific torque values for both the valve and locknut components, ensuring secure placement within hydraulic systems.

Description

Fast-acting, pilot-operated, balanced piston relief cartridges are normally closed, pressure-limiting valves used to protect hydraulics components from pressure transients. Fast opening and closing is gained at the expense of smoothness. When the pressure at the inlet (port 1) reaches the valve setting, the valve starts to open to tank (port 2), throttling flow to limit the pressure rise. These valves have low pressure rise vs. flow and are very 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.
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.

Notes:

For Series 1 cartridges configured with an O control (panel mount handknob), a .75 in. (19 mm) diameter hole is required in the panel.

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.
