The Sun Hydraulics RVGACBV (RVGACBV) is a ventable, pilot-operated, balanced piston relief cartridge designed as a normally closed pressure regulating valve. This valve begins to open to the tank port as the inlet pressure reaches the set threshold, thereby throttling flow to regulate pressure. Notably, it incorporates a vent port that allows for remote control by other pilot or 2-way valves. The RVGACBV model is characterized by its accuracy, low pressure rise versus flow, smooth and quiet operation, and moderate response speed. The valve can handle maximum pressure at port 2 and is suitable for cross-port relief circuits, though spool leakage should be considered in such applications. It features a main stage orifice protected by a 150-micron stainless steel screen but is not recommended for load holding applications due to potential spool leakage. This cartridge utilizes Sun's floating style construction to reduce the risk of internal binding from excessive installation torque or machining variations. It accepts EPDM seals specifically for systems using phosphate ester fluids; exposure to petroleum-based substances could damage these seals. The RVGACBV can handle up to 5000 psi (350 bar) of operating pressure and has a capacity of 60 gpm (240 L/min). Its response time is typically around 10 ms, with pilot flow control between 15-20 in\u00b3/min (0.25-0.33 L/min). Valve installation requires specific torque settings and adjustments are made via an internal hex screw. This model weighs approximately 1.60 lb (0.70 kg) and includes a Viton seal kit option for enhanced durability in various applications.
