The Sun Hydraulics RVGALWN (RVGALWN) is a ventable, pilot-operated, balanced piston relief cartridge designed for precise pressure regulation. This normally closed valve operates by opening to tank port 2 when the inlet pressure at port 1 reaches the set value, effectively throttling flow to maintain desired pressure levels. It features a vent port at port 3, allowing for remote control using other pilot or two-way valves. Known for its accuracy and smooth operation, the RVGALWN is characterized by a low pressure rise relative to flow and moderate response speed. It is suitable for cross-port relief circuits, accepting maximum pressure at port 2; however, spool leakage should be considered in such applications. The main stage orifice is shielded by a durable 150-micron stainless steel screen. Notably, it is not recommended for load-holding applications due to potential spool leakage. The valve's back pressure on tank port 2 directly affects the valve setting in a 1:1 ratio. When equipped with EPDM seals, it is compatible with phosphate ester fluids but can be damaged by petroleum-based substances. The design incorporates Sun\u2019s floating style construction to minimize internal binding risks from installation torque or machining variations. Key specifications include a maximum operating pressure of 5000 psi (350 bar), a capacity of up to 60 gpm (240 L/min), and typical response time of about 10 ms. Adjustment requires approximately five clockwise turns to increase the setting, with specific torque settings for installation and locknut adjustments provided for optimal performance and reliability.

Ventable, 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. They provide a vent port (port 3) that connects between the main piston and pilot stage to provide for remote control by other pilot or 2-way valves. These valves are accurate, have low pressure rise vs. flow, they are smooth and quiet, and are moderately fast.
- A remote pilot relief on port 3 (vent) will control the valve below its own setting.
- 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.
- 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.
