RPGC
Pilot-operated, balanced piston relief valve
CAPACITY: 200 L/min. / CAVITY: T-3A
sunhydraulics.com/model/RPGC
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.

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