The Sun Hydraulics RVGSKCV (RVGSKCV) is a ventable, pilot-operated, balanced-poppet relief cartridge designed for precise pressure regulation in hydraulic systems. This normally closed valve opens to tank port 2 when the inlet pressure at port 1 reaches the preset level, allowing throttled flow to maintain the desired pressure. It features a vent port (port 3) for remote control via other pilot or two-way valves. Known for its accuracy and smooth operation, this valve minimizes noise and manifold erosion due to cavitation by modulating within the cartridge itself. It is particularly suitable for load-holding applications, provided that any valving on the vent port is zero leak. The RVGSKCV can handle maximum pressures at port 2, making it ideal for cross-port relief circuits. It operates reliably across varying oil temperatures and is resistant to oil-borne contamination. The main stage orifice is safeguarded by a 150-micron stainless steel screen, ensuring durability and performance consistency. Additionally, back pressure on tank port 2 directly adds to the valve setting at a 1:1 ratio. This valve incorporates Sun Hydraulics' floating-style construction to reduce internal binding risks due to excessive installation torque or machining variations in cavities/cartridges. With a capacity of 50 gpm (200 L/min) and a maximum operating pressure of 5000 psi (350 bar), it offers robust performance in demanding environments. The factory pressure settings are established at a flow rate of 4 gpm (15 L/min), with control pilot flow ranging from 15-20 in\u00b3/min (0.25-0.33 L/min). The response time is typically around 2 ms, with maximum leakage at reseat limited to 10 drops/min (0.7 cc/min). Installation requires specific torques and hex sizes detailed in its specifications, ensuring proper setup and maintenance.

Description

Ventable, pilot-operated, balanced-poppet 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.

Because the modulating occurs inside the cartridge, these valves are immune to most of the problems associated with cavitation, namely noise and manifold erosion.
Suitable for use in load holding applications, providing that any valving on the vent port (port 3) is zero leak.
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.
Will accept maximum pressure at port 2; suitable for use in cross port relief circuits.
A remote pilot relief on port 3 (vent) will control the valve below its own setting.
Valve is relatively insensitive to varying oil temperatures and oil borne contamination.
Main stage orifice is protected by a 150 micron stainless steel screen.
Back pressure on the tank port (port 2) is directly additive to the valve setting at a 1:1 ratio.
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.

Show FAQ

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.
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.
