The Sun Hydraulics RVGACGV (Material Number: RVGACGV) is a ventable, pilot-operated, balanced piston relief cartridge designed to regulate pressure in hydraulic systems. It remains normally closed until the inlet port pressure reaches the valve setting, at which point it opens to the tank port to throttle flow and maintain pressure. This model features a vent port for remote control via other pilot or 2-way valves, ensuring precise operation with low pressure rise versus flow. The RVGACGV is suitable for cross-port relief circuits and can handle maximum pressures at port 2, though users should consider spool leakage in such applications. A stainless steel screen protects the main stage orifice, but it's not recommended for load-holding due to potential leakage. This cartridge incorporates Sun's floating style construction, minimizing internal binding from installation torque or machining variations. The back pressure on the tank port directly adds to the valve setting at a 1:1 ratio. For systems using phosphate ester fluids, cartridges with EPDM seals are available; however, these seals should not be exposed to petroleum-based substances as they may incur damage. The RVGACGV fits into a T-17A cavity and supports up to 60 gpm (240 L/min) with factory pressure settings established at 4 gpm (15 L/min). It operates under a maximum pressure of 5000 psi (350 bar) with a control pilot flow between 15-20 in\u00b3/min (0.25-0.33 L/min). Typical response time is around 10 ms with maximum valve leakage measured at 4 in\u00b3/min under specific conditions. Adjustments are made by turning clockwise up to five times, and installation torque ranges between 150-160 lbf\u00b7ft (203-217 Nm). The model weighs approximately 1.60 lb (0.70 kg), and Viton seal kits are available for maintenance needs.

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.
