The Sun Hydraulics RSFCKEN (RSFCKEN) is a pilot-operated, balanced piston sequence valve designed to manage the flow to a secondary circuit once the inlet port pressure exceeds the valve's preset level. This sequence valve is engineered to control the pressure at port 1 relative to the drain port 3, remaining unaffected by back pressure at port 2 up to its setting. It can substitute for two-port relief valves in systems where there is return line pressure. The RSFCKEN model features interchangeable three-port sequence cartridges, maintaining consistent flow paths and cavity compatibility across similar frame sizes. As inlet pressure at port 1 increases above the setting relative to drain port 3, pilot flow also rises. The main stage orifice is safeguarded by a 150-micron stainless steel screen, with pressures at port 3 adding directly to the valve setting on a 1:1 basis, not exceeding 5000 psi (350 bar). Notably, this model is unsuitable for load-holding applications due to spool leakage. The RSFCKEN allows adjustments via W and Y controls with or without special settings; without specifications, it remains adjustable throughout its range. Cartridges with EPDM seals are compatible with phosphate ester fluids but vulnerable to petroleum-based substances. Sun's floating style construction minimizes internal binding risks from excessive torque or machining variations. Key specifications include a cavity T-2A series with a capacity of 30 gpm (120 L/min), maximum operating pressure of 5000 psi (350 bar), and typical response time of 10 ms. Maximum leakage stands at 3 in\u00b3/min at specified conditions, with adjustment and installation details provided for optimal setup and maintenance.

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.
- 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.
- 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.
