The Sun Hydraulics DCFAXTN (DCFAXTN) is a versatile three-position, 4-way directional cartridge valve featuring spring-centered, 6-port directional controls that can be tailored with one of 10 distinct spool options. This model stands out for its capacity to handle varying flow rates from 50 to 200 gpm (200 to 760 L/min), depending on the spool type selected. The DCFAXTN is engineered to withstand a maximum operating pressure of 5000 psi (350 bar), including on its pilot ports (port 5 and port 6), ensuring robust performance under high-pressure conditions. A key feature of this valve is its hardened spool and sleeve which not only minimize leakage\u2014rated at just 2 in\u00b3/min at 1000 psi (30 cc/min at 70 bar)\u2014but also provide excellent wear characteristics, enhancing the valve's durability and reliability. Additionally, the DCFAXTN incorporates Sun's floating style construction which helps prevent internal parts from binding due to excessive installation torque or variations in cavity/cartridge machining, promoting consistent operation and longevity. Designed for ease of installation with a hex size of 1-5/8 inches (41.3 mm) and an installation torque range of 350-375 lbf\u00b7ft (474-508 Nm), this model ensures a straightforward setup process. The valve's compact design also facilitates integration into various hydraulic systems without requiring excessive space, as it weighs only 3.80 lbs (1.75 kg). Furthermore, the DCFAXTN operates efficiently with a minimum pilot pressure requirement of just 125 psi (9 bar) needed to shift the valve, supporting diverse application needs while maintaining high performance standards.
