The Sun Hydraulics RPGSLBN (RPGSLBN) is a pilot-operated, balanced poppet relief cartridge designed for precise pressure regulation. This normally closed valve opens to tank port 2 when the inlet port 1 pressure reaches the set threshold, effectively throttling flow to maintain desired pressure levels. It offers a smooth and quiet operation with low pressure rise relative to flow, making it ideal for applications requiring stable and fast response times. The valve's design minimizes common cavitation issues like noise and manifold erosion by modulating inside the cartridge itself. It can handle maximum pressures at port 2 and is suitable for cross-port relief circuits, load holding applications, and systems exposed to varying oil temperatures or contamination. The main stage orifice is safeguarded by a 150-micron stainless steel screen, enhancing its durability. Additionally, the RPGSLBN features corrosion-resistant options with external stainless steel or zinc-nickel plated components for use in harsh environments. The valve accommodates EPDM seals for compatibility with phosphate ester fluids but requires caution against petroleum-based fluids which may damage these seals. Adjustment options include W and Y controls; without a special setting, these allow full-range adjustment, whereas specified settings cap the valve's maximum setting. Installation details include a cavity T-3A series 2 capacity of 50 gpm (200 L/min), a maximum operating pressure of 5000 psi (350 bar), and a typical response time of 7 ms. The valve's compact design features an installation torque of 45-50 lbf ft (61-68 Nm) and comes with a Viton seal kit option for enhanced sealing performance.

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.
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.

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.
