The Sun Hydraulics PVJA8WN (Material Number: PVJA8WN) is a 3-way, normally open modulating valve designed for precision pressure control in hydraulic systems. It features an integral pilot control cavity compatible with any T8A pressure control cartridge. This valve effectively reduces high primary pressure at inlet port 2 to a consistent reduced pressure at port 1, while providing full flow relief from port 1 to tank port 3. The difference in pressure between the reduced pressure at port 1 and the drain port 4 is determined by the setting of the pilot cartridge. The maximum allowable pressure at tank port 3 is limited to 3000 psi (210 bar), while the drain port should not exceed 5000 psi (350 bar). The PVJA8WN valve exhibits low deadband transition between reducing and relieving modes, ensuring stable operation with minimal hysteresis. Its exceptionally flat pressure-flow characteristics make it ideal for applications requiring precise and reliable performance. The maximum inlet pressure is influenced by the bias spring, with the D spring tested up to a differential of 2000 psi (140 bar) and the W spring up to an inlet of 5000 psi (350 bar). This valve incorporates Sun's floating style construction, which minimizes internal part binding due to excessive installation torque or machining variations. It supports various pilot control cartridges sold separately, including electroproportional, solenoid, air pilot, and hydraulic pilot operations that can be integrated directly into its relief cartridge via the T8A cavity. To ensure proper function, reverse flow from reduced pressure port 1 to inlet port 2 should be avoided unless a separate check valve is added to the circuit. The PVJA8WN model weighs approximately 3.10 lb (1.40 kg) and requires specific installation torque values for optimal performance.

Description

This valve is a 3-way, normally open modulating element, externally drained, that incorporates an integral pilot control cavity. The pilot control cavity will accept any T-8A pressure control cartridge. The valve reduces 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). The pilot cartridge's setting determines the difference in pressure between reduced pressure (port 1) and the drain (port 4).

Maximum pressure at port 3 should be limited to 3000 psi (210 bar).
Pilot operated valves exhibit very low dead-band transition between reducing and relieving modes.
Pressure at port 4 should not exceed 5000 psi (350 bar).
Pilot operated valves exhibit exceptionally flat pressure/flow characteristics, are very stable and have low hysteresis.
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).
Maximum inlet pressure is determined by the bias spring. The D spring is tested with 2000 psi (140 bar) maximum differential pressure and the W spring is tested with 5000 psi (350 bar) maximum inlet pressure.
NOTE: With the -8 control option, the main stage valve should first be installed to the correct torque value. The T-8A pilot control valve should then be installed into the main stage valve to its required torque value.
The -8 control option allows the pilot control valve to be incorporated directly into the end of the relief cartridge via the T-8A cavity. These pilot control cartridges are sold separately and include electro-proportional, solenoid, air pilot, and hydraulic pilot operation. See Pilot Control Cartridges.
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.
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.
