The Sun Hydraulics RVCSKCV (Material Number: RVCSKCV) is a ventable, pilot-operated, balanced poppet relief cartridge designed as a normally closed pressure regulating valve. Upon reaching the set pressure at the inlet port (port 1), it opens to the tank port (port 2) to throttle flow and regulate pressure. The valve features a vent port (port 3) for remote control via other pilot or two-way valves, offering precise control with low pressure rise versus flow. This design ensures smooth, quiet operation and moderate speed, while being immune to cavitation issues like noise and manifold erosion. Equipped with EPDM seals, this cartridge is suitable for systems using phosphate ester fluids but should not be exposed to petroleum-based fluids. It can handle maximum pressure at port 2 and is ideal for cross-port relief circuits. A remote pilot relief on the vent port controls the valve below its setting, maintaining performance despite varying oil temperatures or contamination. The main stage orifice comes protected by a 150-micron stainless steel screen. With a capacity of 15 gpm (60 L/min) and maximum operating pressure of 5000 psi (350 bar), it\u2019s suitable for load holding applications. Back pressure on port 2 directly adds to the valve setting at a 1:1 ratio. The floating style construction minimizes internal part binding due to excessive installation torque or machining variations. The RVCSKCV features an adjustment mechanism with five clockwise turns required to increase settings, utilizing an internal hex size of 5/32 in (4 mm). Installation torque ranges from 30-35 lbf ft (41-47 Nm), ensuring secure placement while maintaining optimal performance in hydraulic systems requiring precise pressure regulation and relief capabilities.

Description

Ventable, pilot-operated, balanced-poppet 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.

Because the modulating occurs inside the cartridge, these valves are immune to most of the problems associated with cavitation, namely noise and manifold erosion.
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.
Will accept maximum pressure at port 2; suitable for use in cross port relief circuits.
A remote pilot relief on port 3 (vent) will control the valve below its own setting.
Valve is relatively insensitive to varying oil temperatures and oil borne contamination.
Main stage orifice is protected by a 150 micron stainless steel screen.
Suitable for use in load holding applications.
Back pressure on the tank port (port 2) is directly additive to the valve setting at a 1:1 ratio.
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

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.
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.
