The Sun Hydraulics RVCANAV (RVCANAV) is a ventable, pilot-operated, balanced piston relief cartridge designed to function as a pressure regulating valve. This normally closed valve opens to the tank port when inlet pressure reaches the set threshold, throttling flow to maintain consistent pressure levels. It features a vent port for remote control via other pilot or two-way valves, offering accuracy and low pressure rise versus flow. The valve is noted for its smooth operation, quiet performance, and moderate response speed. It can handle maximum pressure at port 2 and is suitable for cross-port relief circuits, although spool leakage should be considered in such applications. The main stage orifice is protected by a 150-micron stainless steel screen; however, this valve is not recommended for load-holding applications due to potential spool leakage. Back pressure on the tank port affects the valve setting directly in a 1:1 ratio. Cartridges with EPDM seals are compatible with phosphate ester fluids but may be damaged by petroleum-based substances. Constructed with Sun's floating style design, it minimizes internal binding risks from excessive installation torque or machining variations. The RVCANAV fits into Cavity T-11A and offers a capacity of 15 gpm (60 L/min). Its maximum operating pressure is 5000 psi (350 bar), with control pilot flow ranging from 7 to 10 in\u00b3/min (0.11 to 0.16 L/min). Typical response time is around 10 ms, and maximum leakage at specified conditions is 2 in\u00b3/min (30 cc/min). The adjustment requires up to five clockwise turns to increase settings, and various hex sizes are specified for installation and adjustment purposes. The model weighs approximately .40 lb (0.20 kg) and uses Viton seal kits for maintenance.
