The Sun Hydraulics RVBALAV (RVBALAV) is a ventable, pilot-operated, balanced piston relief cartridge designed for precise pressure regulation in hydraulic systems. This valve remains normally closed, opening to tank port 2 when the inlet port 1 pressure reaches the set threshold, thus throttling flow to maintain desired pressure levels. It features a vent port 3 that allows for remote control through other pilot or two-way valves, enhancing its versatility. Known for its accuracy and low-pressure rise relative to flow, the RVBALAV operates smoothly and quietly with moderate speed. It is capable of accepting maximum pressure at port 2, making it suitable for cross-port relief circuits, though spool leakage should be considered in such applications. The valve's minimum setting is 75 psi (5 bar) across all spring ranges and it is not recommended for load-holding applications due to potential spool leakage. The design incorporates Sun's floating style construction to minimize internal binding risks caused by excessive installation torque or machining variations. It has a cavity T-163A Series 0 capacity of 7.5 gpm (30 L/min) and can handle a maximum operating pressure of 5000 psi (350 bar). The control pilot flow ranges between 7\u201310 in\u00b3/min (0.11\u20130.16 L/min), with a typical response time of about 10 ms. Maximum valve leakage at 110 SUS (24 cSt) is limited to 2 in\u00b3/min at 1000 psi (30 cc/min at 70 bar). Adjustment involves up to five clockwise turns to increase settings and requires specific torque values for installation and locknut adjustments. The valve weighs approximately .30 lb (.15 kg) and utilizes Viton seal kits for durability and reliability in various applications.

Description

Ventable, 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. They provide a vent port (port 3) that connects between the main piston and pilot stage to provide for remote control by other pilot or 2-way valves. These valves are accurate, have low pressure rise vs. flow, they are smooth and quiet, and are moderately fast.

A remote pilot relief on port 3 (vent) will control the valve below its own setting.
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.
Minimum setting is 75 psi (5 bar) for all spring ranges.
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.
The main stage orifice is protected against contamination.
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.

Show FAQ

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.
