The Sun Hydraulics CSADEXN (CSADEXN) is a high-performance shuttle valve designed for hydraulic systems requiring reliable switching between two pressure sources. This model, housed in a T11A cavity and part of the Series 1, offers a maximum operating pressure of 5000 psi (350 bar) and a flow capacity of 2.5 gpm (10 L/min). It features a direct-acting mechanism with a single ball shuttle that connects the higher of two work ports to the signal or common port, allowing for efficient decay of the pressure signal when both load ports experience a drop in pressure. The CSADEXN is engineered with hardened steel balls and seats, enhancing its wear characteristics and tolerance to contamination. This durability is further supported by Sun's floating style construction, which reduces the risk of internal parts binding due to excessive installation torque or variations in cavity/cartridge machining. The valve has minimal leakage at high viscosity, with a maximum rate of 5 drops/min (0.3 cc/min), ensuring precise control in critical applications. For systems using phosphate ester fluids, cartridges configured with EPDM seals are recommended; however, these should not be exposed to petroleum-based fluids as it could damage the seals. The installation specifications include a valve hex size of 7/8 inch (22.2 mm) and an installation torque range between 30 - 35 lbf ft (41 - 47 Nm). Weighing just 0.20 lb (0.10 kg), this model combines lightweight design with robust performance, making it ideal for various hydraulic applications where space and weight are critical factors.
