The Sun Hydraulics RVGAKEN (RVGAKEN) is a ventable, pilot-operated, balanced piston relief cartridge designed for precise pressure regulation in hydraulic systems. This valve remains normally closed until the inlet pressure reaches its set point, at which it opens to throttle flow to the tank port, effectively regulating pressure. It features a vent port that enables remote control via other pilot or two-way valves. Known for their accuracy and smooth operation, these cartridges exhibit low pressure rise relative to flow and moderate response speed. They are particularly suitable for cross-port relief circuits due to their ability to handle maximum pressure at port 2; however, one must consider spool leakage in such applications. The main stage orifice is protected by a 150-micron stainless steel screen, ensuring durability and reliability. The valve is not recommended for load-holding applications due to potential spool leakage. Backpressure on the tank port directly affects the valve setting at a 1:1 ratio. Cartridges with EPDM seals are compatible with phosphate ester fluids but can be damaged by petroleum-based substances. This model incorporates Sun's floating style construction to minimize internal binding risks due to installation torque or machining variations. The RVGAKEN fits into a T-17A cavity and has a capacity of 60 gpm (240 L/min), operating at pressures up to 5000 psi (350 bar). It has a control pilot flow of 15-20 in\u00b3/min (0.25-0.33 L/min) and typical response time of 10 ms. Maximum valve leakage is rated at 4 in\u00b3/min (65 cc/min) at 1000 psi (70 bar). The adjustment mechanism involves turning clockwise up to five times for increased settings, with installation torque specified between 150-160 lbf\u00b7ft (203-217 Nm). The model weighs approximately 1.60 lb (0.70 kg), and it includes options for Viton seal kits under part number 990017006 for enhanced sealing performance in various environments.

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.
