While efforts have been made to provide accurate details, inaccuracies may occur. It is advised to verify all information by contacting Sun Hydraulics directly.***
The Sun Hydraulics PSDBKAV (Material Number: PSDBKAV) is a direct-acting pressure reducing-relieving valve designed to reduce a high primary pressure at inlet port 2 to a constant reduced pressure at port 1, while providing a full-flow relief function from port 1 to tank port 3. This valve features a damped construction for stable operation, making it suitable for systems requiring high reduced pressures. It is particularly beneficial in accumulator circuits due to the absence of pilot control flow, which results in reduced secondary circuit leakage. The valve's direct-acting design ensures highly reliable operation even in contaminated systems and dead-headed conditions. However, it may not be suitable for counterbalancing applications due to the transitional step between reducing and relieving modes that equals 5% of the high end of the adjustment range. The maximum pressure at port 3 should not exceed 3000 psi (210 bar), while all spring ranges are tested with an inlet pressure of up to 5000 psi (350 bar). This model allows for superior dynamic response compared to equivalent pilot-operated models and requires consideration of drain port 4 pressure, which directly adds to the valve setting at a 1:1 ratio without exceeding 5000 psi (350 bar). Leakage is specified out of port 3 with a supply pressure of 2000 psi (140 bar) and varies directly with pressure differential and inversely with viscosity. For installation, the PSDBKAV requires specific torque settings: Valve Installation Torque is between 30 - 35 lbf ft (41 - 47 Nm), and Locknut Torque is between 80 - 90 lbf in (9 -10 Nm). The valve incorporates Sun\u2019s floating style construction, minimizing potential internal part binding due to excessive installation torque or machining variations.

Description

Direct-acting, pressure reducing/relieving valves reduce a high primary pressure at the inlet (port 2) to a constant reduced pressure at port 1, with a full-flow relief function from port 1 to tank (port 3). Draining port 4 makes the valve insensitive to pressure at port 3. These valves incorporate a damped construction for stable operation allowing the use of high reduced pressure.

Maximum pressure at port 3 should be limited to 3000 psi (210 bar).
All spring ranges are tested for correct operation with 5000 psi (350 bar) inlet pressure.
Suitable for accumulator circuits since the absence of pilot control flow results in reduced secondary circuit leakage.
Direct acting concept provides highly reliable operation in contaminated systems, especially at dead headed conditions.
Unlike pilot operated versions, direct acting valves exhibit a transitional step between reducing and relieving modes. This step equals 5% of the high end of the adjustment range, independent of the valve setting. Therefore, these valves may not be suitable for counterbalancing applications.
Direct operated version offers superior dynamic response compared to equivalent pilot operated models.
Pressure on the drain (port 4) is directly additive to the valve setting at a 1:1 ratio and should not exceed 5000 psi (350 bar).
Leakage specified in Technical Data is out of port 3 with a supply pressure of 2000 psi (140 bar) and the valve set at mid range. This leakage is directly proportional to pressure differential and inversely proportional to viscosity expressed in centistokes.
Full reverse flow from reduced pressure (port 1) to inlet (port 2) may cause the main spool to close. If reverse free flow is required in the circuit, consider adding a separate check valve to the circuit.
By controlling the pressure at the drain (port 4), the effective setting of the valve can be increased over the nominal valve setting.
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

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.
I need a reducer on B. Can I connect the drain to A?	Yes. If you look in the sandwich section you will see that we offer many such packages. When you are pressurizing B, A is connected to tank, allowing the reducer to do its job. When you reverse, the drain or tank port of the reducer is pressurized by A. This increases the setting of the reducer and helps keep the reducer open in the reverse flow direction.
What do you mean by maximum differential?	Our reducing valves are outside-in valves; the supply pressure on the outside of the working parts is higher than the inside. At some pressure differential, the outside (sleeve) will close in on the piston and cause the valve to stick. A D range is adjustable from 25 to 800 psi with a maximum differential of 2000 psi. This means you could set the valve at 600 psi and expect it to work correctly with a supply pressure of 2600 psi. The valve may work at higher differentials, but we do not recommend it. The W and C ranges are tested over their entire range with an inlet pressure of 5000 psi. All direct-acting valves are tested with an inlet pressure of 5000 psi.
Will your reducing/relieving valve relieve my pump to tank?	No. A reducing/relieving valve throttles a supply of oil to maintain a set pressure in a secondary circuit. The valve is open until the secondary or downstream pressure rises to the setting of the valve at which time it starts to close to limit the pressure. If the secondary or downstream pressure is caused to go above the setting, the valve shifts into relieving mode and throttles the secondary circuit back to tank to prevent over-pressure. At no time can the valve connect the supply to tank.
How big is a drop of hydraulic oil?	There are exactly 250 Sun drops in a cubic inch or 15 in a cc.
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.
Can I back flow through a reducing valve from port 1 to port 2?	Yes. A reducing or reducing/relieving valve is normally open. If the pressure in the secondary circuit is less than the setting, it will be open.2 caveats: (1) If the valve is in the reducing mode and you suddenly reverse the flow, the valve will not have time to open and will shift into relieving mode or (2) If the back flow generates a pressure drop through the valve that exceeds the setting, the valve will shift into the relieving mode.When in doubt, use a reverse flow check.
