The Sun Hydraulics CSAXBXN (CSAXBXN) is a high-performance shuttle valve designed for hydraulic systems requiring reliable alternate pressure paths. This model incorporates a single ball shuttle mechanism, which effectively connects the higher of two work ports to a signal or common port, with the pressure signal sensed at port 3. The CSAXBXN is engineered to offer superior wear characteristics and contamination tolerance, thanks to its hardened steel balls and seats. Additionally, the valve features Sun's floating style construction which minimizes internal part binding that can occur due to excessive installation torque or variations in cavity/cartridge machining. The CSAXBXN operates within a maximum pressure limit of 5000 psi (350 bar) and has a flow capacity of 1.25 gpm (4.7 L/min). Its design specifications include a valve hex size of 3/4 inch (19.1 mm) and an installation torque range of 20 - 25 lbf ft (27 - 33 Nm). The model weighs approximately 0.20 lb (0.10 kg), ensuring it is lightweight yet robust for various applications. The valve's maximum leakage does not exceed 5 drops/min (0.3 cc/min), ensuring efficient operation with minimal fluid loss. This model is particularly suited for applications where precision in pressure alternation between sources is crucial and where system reliability and durability are paramount. The CSAXBXN's design allows for decay of the pressure signal when both load ports experience a drop in pressure, enhancing overall hydraulic system performance.
