The Sun Hydraulics DPBDKEN (DPBDKEN) is a pilot-operated, 3-way directional cartridge valve designed for moderate flow circuits. This versatile valve can function independently or in conjunction with larger pilot-operated directional or logic cartridges. It operates by shifting when the pressure differential between port 1 and port 3 surpasses a predefined setting. Notably, pressure at port 3 directly adds to the valve's setting, which may limit its use as a work port unless a 4-port version is considered. The design allows for interchangeability between direct-acting and pilot-operated versions, sharing the same cavities and flow paths. Port 3 can be blocked to prevent undesired shifting of the valve. This non-bistable valve modulates between two positions based on pilot pressure exceeding the set value, which may necessitate consideration of pilot flow consumption as indicated in performance curves. If this presents an issue, opting for a direct-acting version might be beneficial. The DPBDKEN features Sun's floating style construction to reduce internal binding risks due to excessive installation torque or variations in cavity/cartridge machining. The valve fits into cavity T-11A and is part of Series 1, offering a capacity of up to 7 gpm (28 L/min) with factory pressure settings established at 4 gpm (15 L/min). It supports a maximum operating pressure of 5000 psi (350 bar) and has control pilot flow rates between 7-10 in\u00b3/min (0.11-0.16 L/min). With minimal leakage at specified conditions and adjustable settings via clockwise turns, this model ensures reliable performance across various applications that require precise control over hydraulic flow paths.

Pilot-operated, 3-way directional cartridges (1 to 2 open, 3 blocked) 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.
