The Sun Hydraulics DCDADGN (DCDADGN) is a versatile three-position, 4-way directional cartridge valve, characterized by its spring-centered mechanism and six-port configuration. This model allows users to select from 10 different spool options, tailoring the valve's function to specific application needs. Each spool type determines the capacity of these pilot-to-shift valves, which operate within a range of 11 to 30 gallons per minute (38 to 120 liters per minute). The DCDADGN is designed to handle a maximum operating pressure of 5000 psi (350 bar), including its x and y pilot ports (port 5 and port 6), ensuring robust performance in demanding environments. Key features include hardened spool and sleeve that not only enhance durability but also maintain consistent low leakage rates and excellent wear characteristics. This model is built with Sun\u2019s floating style construction which significantly reduces the risk of internal parts binding\u2014a common issue caused by excessive installation torque or variations in cavity/cartridge machining. This construction detail supports reliable operation and longevity of the valve. The valve requires a minimum pilot pressure of 150 psi (10.5 bar) to shift, and it exhibits a maximum leakage rate of 2 in\u00b3/min at 1000 psi (30 cc/min at 70 bar). Additional specifications include a valve hex size of 1-1/8 inches (28.6 mm) and an installation torque range between 45-50 lbf\u00b7ft (61-68 Nm). Weighing just .80 lb (0.35 kg), the DCDADGN offers a compact yet powerful solution for hydraulic systems requiring precise directional control and reliability.
