The Sun Hydraulics RVGBCAV (RVGBCAV) is a three-port, normally closed modulating element with relief capabilities designed for precise fluid control in hydraulic systems. This versatile component is engineered to perform two primary functions when used alongside an external orifice. As a bypass compensator, it regulates priority flow into a circuit, diverting any excess input flow to the tank port 2. Additionally, if the inlet port 1 pressure exceeds the valve setting, it functions as a typical relief valve to maintain system integrity. The compensating pressure across all ranges is set at 120 psi (8 bar), ensuring consistent performance. The performance curve details how system pressure on the X-axis correlates with the pressure differential created across the control orifice on the Y-axis, highlighting various bypass flows where capacity and efficiency are determined by this bypass flow rather than control flow. The RVGBCAV operates within a cavity T-17A Series 3 and boasts a capacity of up to 40 gpm (160 L/min). It can withstand maximum operating pressures of 5000 psi (350 bar) and features a rapid response time of approximately 10 milliseconds. At an oil viscosity of 110 SUS (24 cSt), maximum valve leakage is minimal at just 4 in\u00b3/min (65 cc/min) under pressures of up to 1000 psi (70 bar). Adjustments can be made easily with up to five clockwise turns required to increase settings. The valve's hex size is 1\u00bc inches (31.8 mm), requiring an installation torque between 150-160 lbf ft (203-217 Nm). For secure adjustments, an internal hex size of ^5\u204432 inches (4 mm) and locknut hex size of ^9\u204416 inches (15 mm) are specified, with locknut torque ranging from 80-90 lbf in (9-10 Nm). Weighing in at just 1.60 lb (0.70 kg), this component also offers optional Viton seal kits for enhanced durability and performance in demanding applications.
