The Sun Hydraulics CXFAXFE (CXFAXFE) is a high-performance check valve designed for hydraulic applications requiring reliable, unidirectional flow control. This model, crafted with precision engineering, incorporates a free-flow design that allows fluid to travel freely from the inlet port 1 to the outlet port 2 while blocking reverse flow effectively. It is suitable for systems operating at pressures up to 5000 psi (350 bar) and can accommodate flow rates up to 40 gpm (160 L/min). The CXFAXFE features an extremely low leakage rate, less than 1 drop per minute (0.07 cc/min), ensuring minimal fluid loss and enhanced system efficiency. Constructed to fit within a T5A cavity and belonging to the Series 2 lineup, this valve demonstrates robustness through its Sun floating style construction. This design minimizes internal part binding that can occur due to excessive installation torque or variations in cavity/cartridge machining, thus ensuring consistent performance and longevity. The valve's hex size is 1 1/8 in (28.6 mm) and requires an installation torque between 45 - 50 lbf ft (61 - 68 Nm). Weighing just .40 lb (0.20 kg), it offers a compact yet durable solution for hydraulic circuits. Specifically configured with EPDM seals, the CXFAXFE is intended for use with phosphate ester fluids, while exposure to petroleum-based fluids can damage the seals. This feature makes it particularly suitable for applications where corrosive environments are a concern or where specific fluid types are used. The cartridge configuration ensures easy maintenance and replacement, enhancing the usability of this hydraulic component in various industrial settings.
