The Sun Hydraulics RQGBCEV (RQGBCEV) is a kickdown relief cartridge designed to function similarly to a circuit breaker in an electrical system. This hydraulic valve is engineered to open completely and remain open once the pressure at the inlet port exceeds the set threshold, allowing unrestricted flow from port 1 to tank port 2. The valve remains in this open state as long as the inlet pressure surpasses that of the outlet. To reset, flow between these ports must stop, and the outlet pressure must equal or exceed the inlet pressure. Notably, this valve is not suitable for load holding applications and is primarily intended for use on the actuator side of hydraulic systems. If applied on the pump side, pump flow must be halted for resetting. The RQGBCEV features interchangeability with other 2-port relief cartridges of similar frame size, offering consistent flow paths and cavity dimensions. It includes a main stage orifice shielded by a 150-micron stainless steel screen and incorporates Sun's floating style construction to reduce internal binding risks due to installation torque or machining variations. The cartridge can handle up to 50 gpm (200 L/min) with a maximum operating pressure of 5000 psi (350 bar). It provides quick response times typically around 25 ms and has minimal leakage rates under specified conditions. For environments prone to corrosion, external components may be constructed from stainless steel or zinc-nickel plating as indicated by specific model code suffixes. The valve's design also accounts for back pressure effects at a direct ratio additive to its setting. Installation requires precise torque specifications, with adjustment facilitated through an internal hex screw and locknut configuration.

Description

Kick-down relief cartridges act similar to a circuit breaker in an electrical system. The valves will kick completely open and remain open once the pressure at the inlet (port 1) exceeds the valve settting, creating an unrestricted flow path from port 1 to tank (port 2). The valve remains open as long as the pressure at port 1 exceeds the pressure at port 2. To reset the valve, flow from port 1 to port 2 must cease and pressure at port 2 must be equal to or greater than the pressure at port 1.

All 2-port relief cartridges (except pilot reliefs) are physically and functionally interchangeable (same flow path, same cavity for a given frame size).
To reset valve, flow through the cartridge must cease.
Main stage orifice is protected by a 150 micron stainless steel screen.
Not suitable for use in load holding applications.
Intended for use on the actuator side of the system as flow through the valve must cease for the valve to reset. If used on the pump side of a system, pump flow must be shut off for the valve to reset.
Back pressure on the tank port (port 2) is directly additive to the valve setting at a 1:1 ratio.
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.

Notes:

Do not use in load holding applications.
For Series 1 cartridges configured with an O control (panel mount handknob), a .75 in. (19 mm) diameter hole is required in the panel.

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.
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.
