The Sun Hydraulics CSABAXV (CSABAXV) is a meticulously designed shuttle valve that ensures reliable connection between the higher of two work ports and the signal or common port, with the pressure signal sensed at port 3. This model is built to handle a maximum operating pressure of 5000 psi (350 bar) and features a flow capacity of 2.5 gpm (10 L/min). Notably, the CSABAXV incorporates Sun Hydraulics' advanced floating style construction, which significantly reduces the risk of internal parts binding due to excessive installation torque or variations in cavity/cartridge machining. The valve's robust design includes hardened steel balls and seats that enhance wear characteristics and provide high contamination tolerance. The shuttle cartridge's single ball mechanism allows for decay of the pressure signal when both load ports experience a drop in pressure, ensuring efficient operation under varying conditions. Furthermore, it is configured with EPDM seals specifically for use with phosphate ester fluids, though it should be noted that exposure to petroleum-based fluids can damage these seals. Additional technical specifications include a maximum valve leakage at 110 SUS (24 cSt) limited to 5 drops/min (0.3 cc/min), and installation requires specific attention with a valve hex size of 7/8 in (22.2 mm) and an installation torque range of 30 - 35 lbf ft (41 - 47 Nm). The model weighs approximately 0.20 lb (0.10 kg), ensuring it is lightweight yet durable for various applications.
