While efforts have been made to provide accurate details, inaccuracies may occur. It is advised to verify all information by contacting Sun Hydraulics directly.***
The Sun Hydraulics RPICQBN (RPICQBN) is a pilot-operated, balanced-piston relief cartridge designed as a normally closed pressure regulating valve. This component becomes operational when the inlet port pressure reaches the predetermined valve setting, allowing it to open to the tank port and throttle flow to maintain regulated pressure. Known for its accuracy and low-pressure rise versus flow, it operates smoothly and quietly with moderate speed. The RPICQBN can handle maximum pressure at port 2, making it suitable for cross-port relief circuits, although spool leakage should be considered in such applications. The main stage orifice is safeguarded by a 150-micron stainless steel screen, but it's not recommended for load-holding applications due to potential leakage. Backpressure on the tank port directly affects the valve setting in a 1:1 ratio. All two-port relief cartridges share physical and functional interchangeability within the same frame size, except for pilot reliefs. For systems utilizing phosphate ester fluids, cartridges configured with EPDM seals are available; however, exposure to petroleum-based fluids can damage these seals. The RPICQBN features corrosion-resistant options identified by model code suffixes AP or LH for external stainless steel or zinc-nickel plated components, respectively. Incorporating Sun's floating style construction helps minimize internal part binding due to excessive torque or cavity machining variations. With a capacity of 100 gpm (380 L/min) and a maximum operating pressure of 5000 psi (350 bar), this valve offers quick response times\u2014typically around 10 ms\u2014and minimal leakage at specified conditions. It includes an adjustable setting mechanism with five clockwise turns available for adjustment and requires specific installation torques for optimal performance. This model weighs approximately 1.20 lb (0.55 kg) and uses Viton seal kits identified as part number 990016006.

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.
- 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.
- All 2-port relief cartridges (except pilot reliefs) are physically and functionally interchangeable (same flow path, same cavity for a given frame size).
- 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.
