The Sun Hydraulics CSAWEXN (CSAWEXN) is a high-performance shuttle valve designed for hydraulic systems requiring reliable switching between two pressure sources. This model features a single ball shuttle that effectively connects the higher of two work ports to either the signal or common port, with pressure sensing facilitated through an external port located on the hex end of the cartridge. The CSAWEXN is built to withstand challenging conditions, incorporating hardened steel balls and seats that enhance wear characteristics and boost contamination tolerance. The valve's design allows for the decay of the pressure signal when both load ports experience a drop in pressure, ensuring stable system performance. Additionally, it benefits from Sun's floating style construction which minimizes internal parts binding\u2014a common issue caused by excessive installation torque or variations in cavity/cartridge machining. Key specifications include a flow capacity of 1.25 gpm (4.7 L/min), a maximum operating pressure of 5000 psi (350 bar), and maximum valve leakage rated at 5 drops/min (0.3 cc/min). The CSAWEXN has a compact form factor with a model weight of just 0.20 lbs (0.10 kg) and requires an installation torque between 20 - 25 lbf ft (27 - 33 Nm). It is compatible with T162A cavity series and comes with Viton seals for enhanced durability and performance under various operational conditions.
