The Sun Hydraulics CSAXEXN (CSAXEXN) is a meticulously engineered shuttle valve designed for hydraulic systems requiring reliable pressure signal management between two work ports. This model, distinguished by its single ball shuttle mechanism, efficiently connects the higher pressure of two work ports to a signal or common port, with the pressure signal sensed at port 3. A standout feature of the CSAXEXN is its ability to allow pressure signal decay when both load ports experience a drop in pressure, enhancing system responsiveness and stability. Constructed with hardened steel balls and seats, the CSAXEXN offers exceptional wear characteristics and contamination tolerance, ensuring long-term reliability and performance in various operational environments. The valve operates with a maximum capacity of 1.25 gpm (4.7 L/min) and can handle pressures up to 5000 psi (350 bar). It also features Sun's innovative floating style construction which minimizes internal parts binding\u2014a common issue caused by excessive installation torque or variations in cavity/cartridge machining. The CSAXEXN is designed for easy installation with a hex size of 3/4 in. (19.1 mm) and an installation torque range of 20 - 25 lbf\u00b7ft (27 - 33 Nm). Weighing just 0.20 lb (0.10 kg), it is compact yet robust enough to meet rigorous industrial demands. Additionally, it supports Viton seals for enhanced chemical resistance and durability under extreme conditions. This model's precision design and operational capabilities make it an essential component for optimizing hydraulic system functionality.
