The Sun Hydraulics DPCAKAV (DPCAKAV) is a normally open, pilot-operated, 2-way directional cartridge valve designed for moderate flow circuits. It is versatile in its applications, capable of functioning independently or in conjunction with larger pilot-operated directional cartridges or logic cartridges. The valve transitions when the pressure differential between port 1 and port 3 surpasses the preset limit, with pressure at port 3 directly adding to the valve's setting. This design consideration means that port 3 may not serve as a work port in certain circuit designs; however, a 4-port version of this valve may address such needs. Both direct-acting and pilot-operated types of these valves are interchangeable, sharing the same cavity dimensions and flow paths. This valve is not bistable; it can modulate between two positions. The maximum allowable pressure at port 3 is limited to 3000 psi (210 bar) due to fatigue strength constraints rather than hydraulic limits. When pilot pressure exceeds the preset limit, pilot flow considerations may arise. In such cases, opting for a direct-acting version could be beneficial. The DPCAKAV incorporates Sun's floating style construction to reduce internal part binding risks from excessive installation torque or machining variations. Key specifications include compatibility with cavity T-2A and a series designation of 2, supporting a capacity of up to 15 gpm (60 L/min). Factory pressure settings are established at 4 gpm (15 L/min), with a maximum operating pressure of 5000 psi (350 bar). Control pilot flow ranges from 10 to 15 in\u00b3/min (0.16 to 0.25 L/min), and maximum valve leakage at standard conditions is limited to 1 in\u00b3/min (1000 psi or approximately 15 cc/min at 70 bar). Adjustments are made via an internal hex screw with specific torque requirements for secure installation.

Normally open, pilot-operated, 2-way directional cartridges 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.
- This valve is not bistable; it is capable of modulating between the two positions shown.
- Maximum pressure at port 3 should be limited to 3000 psi (210 bar). This is due to fatigue strength limits not hydraulic operating limits.
- 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.
