While efforts have been made to provide accurate details, inaccuracies may occur. It is advised to verify all information by contacting Sun Hydraulics directly.***
The Sun Hydraulics RSFCKAN (RSFCKAN) is a pilot-operated, balanced piston sequence valve designed to supply a secondary circuit with flow once the inlet port 1 pressure exceeds the valve setting. This sequence valve controls the pressure at port 1 relative to the drain port 3, remaining unaffected by back pressure at port 2 up to the valve setting. It can regulate pressure in place of two-port relief valves when there is pressure in the return line. All three-port sequence cartridges are interchangeable in terms of flow path and cavity size for a given frame size. The main stage orifice features a 150-micron stainless steel screen for protection, and the pressure at port 3 adds directly to the valve setting at a 1:1 ratio, with a maximum limit of 5000 psi (350 bar). This model is not suitable for load holding applications due to spool leakage. The RSFCKAN incorporates Sun's floating style construction to reduce binding risks from excessive installation torque or machining variations. It accommodates EPDM seals for systems using phosphate ester fluids but should avoid petroleum-based fluids which could damage these seals. The valve has a capacity of 30 gpm (120 L/min) and operates at pressures up to 5000 psi (350 bar). It features adjustable settings via W or Y controls, with options for special settings representing maximum adjustments. The response time is typically around 10 ms, and it maintains minimal leakage under specified conditions. Additional specifications include a cavity size of T-2A Series 2, factory pressure settings established at 4 gpm (15 L/min), and an adjustment range facilitated by five clockwise turns. Installation requires specific torques for both the valve and locknut components, ensuring secure fitting and operation stability.

Pilot-operated, balanced piston sequence valves will supply a secondary circuit with flow once the pressure at the inlet (port 1) has exceeded the valve setting. The pressure setting of a sequence valve controls the pressure at port 1 relative to the pressure at the drain (port 3). These valves are insensitive to back pressure at port 2 (sequence), up to the valve setting. They may be used to regulate pressure in place of 2-port relief valves if there is pressure in the return line.
- All 3 port sequence cartridges are physically and functionally interchangeable (i.e. same flow path, same cavity for a given frame size).
- Pilot flow continues to increase as the pressure at port 1 (inlet), relative to the pressure at port 3 (drain), rises above the valve setting.
- The main stage orifice is protected by a 150 micron stainless steel screen.
- Pressure at port 3 is directly additive to the valve setting at a 1:1 ratio and should not exceed 5000 psi (350 bar).
- Not suitable for use in load holding applications due to spool leakage.
- 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.
- 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.
