The Sun Hydraulics RPECLCV (RPECLCV) is a pilot-operated, balanced-piston relief cartridge designed for precise pressure regulation in hydraulic systems. This normally closed valve begins to open at inlet port 1 when the pressure reaches the pre-set level, allowing flow to tank port 2 to manage system pressure effectively. Known for its accuracy and smooth operation, this valve features a low pressure rise versus flow, making it moderately fast and quiet during operation. It is interchangeable with other 2-port relief cartridges of the same frame size, except pilot reliefs, and can handle maximum pressure at port 2, making it suitable for cross-port relief circuits\u2014though spool leakage should be considered in such applications. The main stage orifice is safeguarded by a 150-micron stainless steel screen, ensuring reliable performance. However, it is not recommended for load-holding applications due to potential spool leakage. The back pressure on tank port 2 directly adds to the valve setting at a 1:1 ratio. Cartridges with EPDM seals are compatible with phosphate ester fluids but should not be exposed to petroleum-based fluids or greases as they can damage the seals. The RPECLCV model incorporates Sun's floating style construction which minimizes binding risks due to installation torque or machining variations. It has a capacity of 25 gpm (95 L/min) and operates at a maximum pressure of 5000 psi (350 bar) with a typical response time of 10 ms. The valve's adjustment range allows for up to five clockwise turns to increase settings, and it features corrosion-resistant options identified by specific model code suffixes. This model weighs approximately .30 lb (.15 kg) and requires specific installation torques for optimal performance.

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. These valves are accurate, have low pressure rise vs. flow, they are smooth and quiet, and are moderately fast.
- All 2-port relief cartridges (except pilot reliefs) are physically and functionally interchangeable (same flow path, same cavity for a given frame size).
- 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.
- W and Y controls (where applicable) can be specified with or without a special setting. When no special setting is specified, the valve is adjustable throughout its full range using the W or Y control. When a special setting is specified, this setting represents the maximum setting of the valve.
- Corrosion resistant cartridge valves are intended for use in corrosive environments and are identified by the model code suffix /AP for external stainless steel components, or /LH for external zinc-nickel plated components. See the CONFIGURATION section for all options. For further details, please see the Materials of Construction page located under TECH RESOURCES.
- 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.
