Relief valve from Sun Hydraulics

Description

The bi-directional, direct-acting relief cartridge is a normally closed, pressure-limiting valve used to protect hydraulic components from pressure transients. When the pressure differential between ports 1 and 2 exceeds the valve setting, the valve starts to open, throttling flow to limit the pressure rise, regardless of the direction.

Both directions have very similar setting and performance.

  • Because the modulating occurs inside the cartridge, these valves are immune to most of the problems associated with cavitation, namely noise and manifold erosion.
  • The seals on the adjust screw are exposed to pressure at port 1 which means this valve can only be adjusted when the pressure is removed or port 2 is used to set the valve. The setting procedure at port 1 is; check the setting, remove the pressure, adjust the valve, check the new setting.
  • All 2-port relief cartridges (except pilot reliefs) are physically and functionally interchangeable (same flow path, same cavity for a given frame size).
  • Valve is relatively insensitive to varying oil temperatures and oil borne contamination.
  • Select a spring range where the desired relief setting is approximately mid-range to high between the minimum and maximum pressure to ensure maximum valve repeatability.
  • 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.
