The Sun Hydraulics DPCAKBN (DPCAKBN) is a normally open, pilot-operated, 2-way directional cartridge valve designed for use in moderate flow circuits. It is versatile enough to be used independently or to control larger pilot-operated directional or logic cartridges. The valve operates by shifting when the pressure differential between port 1 and port 3 exceeds its set value. Notably, pressure at port 3 directly adds to the valve setting, which may limit its use as a work port in certain circuits; a 4-port version of this valve could offer a solution in such cases. The DPCAKBN features interchangeable direct-acting and pilot-operated versions that fit the same cavities and maintain consistent flow paths. This model is not bistable but can modulate between two positions as shown. It should be noted that the maximum pressure at port 3 should not exceed 3000 psi (210 bar) due to fatigue strength limits rather than hydraulic operating limits. The valve incorporates Sun's floating style construction, which minimizes internal parts binding due to excessive installation torque or cavity/cartridge machining variations. With a maximum operating pressure of 5000 psi (350 bar) and a capacity of 15 gpm (60 L/min), this valve is robust yet efficient. Control pilot flow ranges from 10-15 in\u00b3/min (0.16-0.25 L/min), with maximum leakage at 110 SUS (24 cSt) being just 1 in\u00b3/min (1000 psi/15 cc/min/70 bar). The adjustment mechanism allows for up to five clockwise turns to increase settings, with specific torque requirements for installation and locknut adjustments ensuring secure operation. Weighing just .60 lb (0.30 kg), it provides reliable performance without unnecessary bulk, making it an ideal choice for applications requiring precise modulation of hydraulic flows within specified limits.

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.
