The Sun Hydraulics DCCAXAV (DCCAXAV) is a versatile hydraulic component designed for high-pressure applications. This three-position, 4-way directional cartridge valve is spring-centered and features a 6-port configuration, capable of handling pressures up to 5000 psi (350 bar). The valve offers a flow capacity ranging from 7 to 10 gpm (28 to 40 L/min), making it suitable for a variety of fluid dynamics applications. Equipped with ten different spool options, the DCCAXAV allows users to tailor its operation according to specific system requirements. Each port, including the x and y pilot ports (port 5 and port 6), can withstand the maximum operating pressure, enhancing the valve's versatility in complex hydraulic circuits. The minimum pilot pressure required to shift the valve is set at 175 psi (12 bar), ensuring reliable operation under varied conditions. The design incorporates Sun's floating style construction which minimizes internal parts binding\u2014a common issue due to excessive installation torque or cavity/cartridge machining variations. This feature, along with a hardened spool and sleeve, ensures low leakage rates and excellent wear characteristics, maintaining consistent performance over time. The valve's maximum leakage is specified at 2 in\u00b3/min at 1000 psi (30 cc/min at 70 bar). For installation, the valve requires a hex size of 7/8 in. (22.2 mm) and an installation torque between 30 -35 lbf\u00b7ft (41 -47 Nm). Weighing just about .40 lb (0.20 kg), this model is compact yet robust enough to handle demanding tasks efficiently. The DCCAXAV also supports Viton seal kits for enhanced durability and chemical resistance in harsh environments.
