The Sun Hydraulics CNECXZN (CNECXZN) is a specialized hydraulic flow control valve designed for precise fluid management in various hydraulic systems. This model is a fixed orifice, non-pressure compensated flow control valve with a reverse flow check feature, which makes it ideal for applications requiring consistent flow rates regardless of pressure variations across the system. The CNECXZN allows users to specify the orifice diameter, which Sun Hydraulics sets at the factory based on customer requirements to ensure tailored performance. Constructed with Sun's floating style design, the CNECXZN minimizes internal parts binding and potential malfunctions caused by excessive installation torque or variations in cavity/cartridge machining. This design enhances the durability and reliability of the valve in demanding operational conditions. The specified orifice diameter is clearly stamped on one of the cartridge's hex faces for easy identification and maintenance reference. Featuring compatibility within Sun's standardized cavity (T5A) and using a 2-port flow control cartridge that is interchangeable in terms of flow path and cavity for a given frame size, this model offers flexibility for system integration. It supports a maximum operating pressure of 5000 psi (350 bar) and can handle capacities up to 30 gpm (120 L/min), making it suitable for high-performance applications. The orifice range available varies from .016 to .135 inches (0.4 to 3.4 mm), providing options for different flow rate requirements. In summary, the Sun Hydraulics CNECXZN valve is designed for specific application needs where precise fluid control is essential, supported by robust construction and customizable settings that cater to various industrial hydraulic system specifications.

Description

This valve is a fixed orifice, non-pressure compensated flow control with a reverse flow check. The flow setting is specified by the user and is set at the factory.

Customer must specify the orifice diameter.
All 2-port flow control cartridges are physically and functionally interchangeable (i.e. same flow path, same cavity for a given frame size). However, cartridge extension dimensions from the mounting surface may vary.
These are essentially check valves with bypass orifices. The flow path matches Sun's flow controls and can be used in any flow control manifolds. Valves with the opposite direction of flow can be found under check valves with bypass orifices.
Because these valves are non-compensating devices, the fixed orifice size will regulate flow through the valve in proportion to the square root of the pressure differential across ports 1 and 2.
The customer specified orifice diameter is stamped on one of the cartridge's hex faces.
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.

Show FAQ

What happens if I block the control flow (priority) port?	All flow is blocked, hence the term priority. The priority flow has to be satisfied.
What happens if I block the bypass port on a priority flow control?	The valve acts as a 2 port restrictive flow control.
What is the compensating pressure of Sun's flow controls?	The spring force in our flow controls equates to about 100 psi (7 bar). This is high enough to give the valves acceptable capacity (not really) and not too high for proper circuit operation. 100 psi (7 bar) is the spring force; at the upper end of the flow control's range, the drop through the valve will be as high as 250 psi (17 bar) before it starts modulating.
How big is a drop of hydraulic oil?	There are exactly 250 Sun drops in a cubic inch or 15 in a cc.
What is the pressure drop through a flow control?	In a meter-in flow control circuit if the pump is set at 3000 psi and the load is 2000 psi the drop through the flow control is 1000 psi. In a meter-out circuit with the load at 2000 psi the drop through the flow control is 2000 psi.
How accurate are Sun's flow controls?	We claim +/- 10%. We set to +/- 5% in production testing to allow for differences in customers' conditions. If you want accuracy, stay in the bottom 2/3rds of the range. Our 12 gpm (45 L/min.) flow controls are quite flat at 9 gpm (34 L/min.) and dead flat below 6 gpm (23 L/min.), until you get to the bottom of the range. Below about .25 gpm (1 L/min.), spool leakage and orifice conditions start to limit accuracy.
I have a heat problem, will Sun's priority flow control help?	I am afraid not. Unless you are overflowing your current valve and correctly size ours, you are not likely to notice any improvement. Priority flow controls are not efficient devices. They are an easy way to get more than 1 source of oil from 1 pump but they can generate a lot of heat. Try to size your actuators so the pressures are similar on both the priority and the bypass circuits. If you can't do that, try to have the lower flow leg be the lower pressure. The pump pressure is determined by whichever leg is higher and if there is flow that is taking a pressure drop that is not doing work it is creating heat.
