The Sun Hydraulics RVEAKMN (RVEAKMN) is a ventable, pilot-operated, balanced piston relief cartridge designed for precise pressure regulation in hydraulic systems. When the inlet port pressure reaches the valve's set level, it opens to the tank port, modulating flow to maintain the desired pressure. This model features a vent port that enables remote control via other pilot or two-way valves, making it versatile for various applications. Known for its accuracy and smooth operation, it has a low pressure rise versus flow characteristic and operates quietly with moderate speed. The RVEAKMN can handle maximum pressures at port 2 and is suitable for cross-port relief circuits, although spool leakage should be considered in such configurations. It includes a 150-micron stainless steel screen protecting the main stage orifice. However, it's not recommended for load-holding applications due to potential spool leakage. The valve's setting is directly influenced by back pressure on the tank port at a 1:1 ratio. This cartridge is compatible with systems using phosphate ester fluids when equipped with EPDM seals but should not be exposed to petroleum-based substances as they can damage the seals. The design incorporates Sun's floating style construction to prevent internal part binding from installation torque or machining variations. Specifications include a capacity of 30 gpm (120 L/min), maximum operating pressure of 5000 psi (350 bar), control pilot flow between 10\u201315 in\u00b3/min (0.16\u20130.25 L/min), and typical response time of 10 ms. The valve supports up to 3 in\u00b3/min (50 cc/min) leakage at 110 SUS (24 cSt) and allows adjustment through five clockwise turns to increase settings. It features specific installation torque requirements and hex sizes for adjustments and locknuts, ensuring secure fitting within hydraulic systems.

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.
