The Sun Hydraulics RPICYWN (RPICYWN) is a pilot-operated, balanced piston relief cartridge designed for precise pressure regulation in hydraulic systems. This normally closed valve opens to the tank port when the inlet pressure reaches the set level, effectively throttling flow to maintain desired pressure levels. Notable for its accuracy and low pressure rise versus flow characteristics, it operates smoothly and quietly with moderate response speed. The valve can withstand maximum pressure at port 2, making it suitable for cross-port relief circuits, although spool leakage should be considered in such applications. It features a 150-micron stainless steel screen protecting the main stage orifice and is not recommended for load-holding applications due to potential leakage. The valve setting is directly influenced by back pressure on the tank port at a 1:1 ratio. This relief cartridge is interchangeable with other 2-port models of the same frame size and flow path, excluding pilot reliefs. It supports EPDM seals specifically for systems using phosphate ester fluids; exposure to petroleum-based substances can damage these seals. The RPICYWN model offers adjustable settings via W or Y controls, with options for special settings that define maximum limits. Corrosion-resistant variants are available with stainless steel or zinc-nickel plated components, identifiable by suffixes AP or LH in the model code. Incorporating Sun's floating style construction minimizes risks of internal binding from installation torque or machining variations. With a capacity of 100 gpm (380 L/min) and a maximum operating pressure of 5000 psi (350 bar), this model exhibits typical response times of 10 ms and minimal leakage under specified conditions. Installation requires specific torque values, and adjustments are facilitated by internal hex screws and locknuts with defined dimensions and torque specifications.

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.
