The Sun Hydraulics RSDCMDN (RSDCMDN) is a pilot-operated, balanced piston sequence valve designed to manage the flow to a secondary circuit once the inlet pressure at port 1 surpasses the valve's set threshold. This valve regulates pressure at port 1 in relation to the drain port 3 and remains unaffected by back pressure at port 2 up to its set value. It can replace two-port relief valves in systems with return line pressure. The RSDCMDN is part of a series where all three-port sequence cartridges are interchangeable, offering consistent flow paths and cavity compatibility for a given frame size. As inlet pressure at port 1 rises above the valve setting, pilot flow increases, with a stainless steel screen protecting the main stage orifice. The allowable pressure at port 3 adds directly to the valve setting on a one-to-one basis but should not exceed 5000 psi (350 bar). This model is unsuitable for load-holding applications due to potential spool leakage. The RSDCMDN features corrosion-resistant options identified by model code suffixes such as AP for stainless steel components or LH for zinc-nickel plating, catering to use in corrosive environments. It incorporates Sun's floating style construction, minimizing internal binding risks due to installation torque or machining variations. The valve has a capacity of 15 gpm (60 L/min) and operates under maximum pressures of up to 5000 psi (350 bar). With typical response times around 10 ms and maximum leakage rates of 2 in/min (30 cc/min) at specified viscosities, it offers reliable performance within its operational parameters. Adjustments can be made using W or Y controls unless specified otherwise, allowing full-range adjustability or preset maximum settings.

Pilot-operated, balanced piston sequence valves will supply a secondary circuit with flow once the pressure at the inlet (port 1) has exceeded the valve setting. The pressure setting of a sequence valve controls the pressure at port 1 relative to the pressure at the drain (port 3). These valves are insensitive to back pressure at port 2 (sequence), up to the valve setting. They may be used to regulate pressure in place of 2-port relief valves if there is pressure in the return line.
- All 3 port sequence cartridges are physically and functionally interchangeable (i.e. same flow path, same cavity for a given frame size).
- Pilot flow continues to increase as the pressure at port 1 (inlet), relative to the pressure at port 3 (drain), rises above the valve setting.
- The main stage orifice is protected by a 150 micron stainless steel screen.
- Pressure at port 3 is directly additive to the valve setting at a 1:1 ratio and should not exceed 5000 psi (350 bar).
- Not suitable for use in load holding applications due to spool leakage.
- 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.
