The Sun Hydraulics DPBCKEN (DPBCKEN) is a pilot-operated, 3-way directional cartridge valve designed for moderate flow circuits, providing reliable switching capabilities. This valve features one blocked port and an open path between two others, making it suitable for use either independently or in conjunction with larger pilot-operated or logic cartridges. It operates by shifting when the pressure differential between port 1 and port 3 surpasses the preset threshold, with pressure at port 3 being directly additive to this setting. However, due to this characteristic, port 3 may not be ideal as a work port unless a 4-port version is utilized. The DPBCKEN model is interchangeable with direct-acting versions, sharing the same cavity fit and flow paths. Port 3 can be blocked to prevent shifting, and though not bistable, the valve can modulate between two positions based on pilot pressure exceeding the set point. Key specifications include a T-11A cavity type and Series 1 classification with a capacity of handling up to 7 gpm (28 L/min). The factory pressure settings are established at 4 gpm (15 L/min) with a maximum operating pressure of up to 5000 psi (350 bar). Control pilot flow ranges from 7 to 10 in\u00b3/min (0.11 to 0.16 L/min), while maximum valve leakage at standard conditions is limited to 1 in\u00b3/min (15 cc/min). The valve's robust design incorporates Sun's floating style construction to minimize internal part binding due to installation torque or machining variations. For adjustments, it allows up to five clockwise turns for pressure setting increases and features specific hex sizes for secure installation and locknut adjustments.

Pilot-operated, 3-way directional cartridges (1 blocked, 2 to 3 open) are switching devices typically used in moderate flow circuits. They can be used by themselves or to actuate larger pilot-operated directional cartridges or logic cartridges. The valve shifts when the pressure differential between port 1 and port 3 exceeds the setting.
- Pressure at port 3 is directly additive to the setting of the valve. Because of this, port 3 may not be useable as a work port in your circuit. If this is a consideration, the 4 port version of this valve may be a solution.
- Direct-acting and pilot-operated versions of these valves are interchangeable. They fit the same cavities and have the same flow paths.
- Port 3 can be blocked to prevent the valve from shifting.
- This valve is not bistable; it is capable of modulating between the two positions shown.
- When pilot pressure exceeds the valve setting, pilot flow may be a consideration. See performance curves for pilot consumption vs. load pressure above the valve setting. If this is a problem, the direct acting version of this valve would be a solution.
- Incorporates the Sun floating style construction to minimize the possibility of internal parts binding due to excessive installation torque and/or cavity/cartridge machining variations.
