The Sun Hydraulics RPKCCEV (RPKCCEV) is a pilot-operated, balanced piston relief cartridge designed for pressure regulation in hydraulic systems. This normally closed valve opens to tank port 2 when the inlet port 1 pressure reaches the valve setting, effectively throttling flow to maintain desired pressure levels. It is known for its accuracy, smooth operation, and moderate speed, with minimal pressure rise relative to flow. The valve can accept maximum pressure at port 2, making it suitable for cross-port relief circuits; however, users should consider spool leakage in such applications. Notably, it is not recommended for load-holding applications due to this leakage. The main stage orifice of the RPKCCEV is safeguarded by a 150-micron stainless steel screen. Back pressure on tank port 2 adds directly to the valve setting at a 1:1 ratio. All two-port relief cartridges are interchangeable physically and functionally within the same frame size and flow path. Cartridges with EPDM seals are compatible with phosphate ester fluids but must avoid petroleum-based substances to prevent seal damage. This model incorporates Sun's floating style construction to reduce internal binding risks from installation torque or machining variations. It fits into cavity T-18A and belongs to series 4 with a capacity of 200 gpm (760 L/min). The maximum operating pressure is rated at 5000 psi (350 bar), with typical response times around 10 ms and a maximum valve leakage of five in\u00b3/min at 1000 psi (80 cc/min at 70 bar). The adjustment allows up to five clockwise turns to increase settings. The valve's weight is approximately 2.50 lb (1.15 kg), and it includes components like Viton seal kits for optimal performance in various environments.

Description

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.

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.
All 2-port relief cartridges (except pilot reliefs) are physically and functionally interchangeable (same flow path, same cavity for a given frame size).
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.

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.
