The Sun Hydraulics DCDAXWV (DCDAXWV) is a versatile three-position, 4-way directional cartridge valve with spring-centered, 6-port configuration. This model boasts a range of spool options, with ten different types to choose from according to specific application requirements. Each spool type affects the capacity of these pilot-to-shift valves, which can handle fluid flow rates from 11 to 30 gallons per minute (38 to 120 liters per minute). Designed for high-pressure applications, all ports on the DCDAXWV can withstand pressures up to 5000 psi (350 bar), including the X and Y pilot ports. Key features include a hardened spool and sleeve that ensure low leakage rates and superior wear characteristics, essential for maintaining efficiency and prolonging valve life in demanding environments. The valve also utilizes Sun's innovative floating style construction which helps minimize internal parts binding\u2014a common issue caused by excessive installation torque or variations in cavity/cartridge machining. The valve requires a minimum pilot pressure of 150 psi (10.5 bar) to shift and has a maximum operating pressure limit of 5000 psi (350 bar). Leakage specifications are rigorously defined, with maximum valve leakage at 110 SUS (24 cSt) being only 2 in\u00b3/min at 1000 psi (30 cc/min at 70 bar). Additional technical specifications include a pilot volume displacement of .06 in\u00b3 (0.98 cc), hex size for installation at 1-1/8 inches (28.6 mm), and an installation torque range between 45-50 lbf\u00b7ft (61-68 Nm). The model weighs approximately .80 lb (0.35 kg), ensuring it is robust yet manageable for integration into various hydraulic systems.
