The Sun Hydraulics RVEACIV (RVEACIV) is a ventable, pilot-operated, balanced piston relief cartridge designed for precise pressure regulation in hydraulic systems. This normally closed valve begins to open to tank port 2 when the pressure at inlet port 1 reaches the preset level, effectively throttling flow to maintain desired pressure levels. It features a vent port 3 that facilitates remote control using other pilot or 2-way valves. The RVEACIV is noted for its accuracy, low pressure rise versus flow characteristics, smooth operation, quiet performance, and moderate response speed. This valve is particularly suitable for applications requiring cross-port relief circuits due to its ability to handle maximum pressure at port 2. However, it should not be used in load-holding applications because of potential spool leakage. Additionally, back pressure on tank port 2 directly adds to the valve setting at a 1:1 ratio. For systems utilizing phosphate ester fluids, cartridges with EPDM seals are recommended; exposure to petroleum-based fluids can damage these seals. The RVEACIV incorporates Sun's floating style construction that minimizes internal part binding caused by excessive installation torque or cavity/cartridge machining variations. It has a capacity of up to 30 gpm (120 L/min), with factory pressure settings established at 4 gpm (15 L/min). The maximum operating pressure is rated at 5000 psi (350 bar), and typical response time is around 10 ms. Installation requires a torque of 45-50 lbf ft (61-68 Nm), with adjustment facilitated by an internal hex screw and locknut configuration. The valve's main stage orifice is safeguarded by a 150-micron stainless steel screen for enhanced durability and performance reliability.

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.
Main stage orifice is protected by a 150 micron stainless steel screen.
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.
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.

Notes:

For Series 1 cartridges configured with an O control (panel mount handknob), a .75 in. (19 mm) diameter hole is required in the panel.

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.
