The Sun Hydraulics DPCAKCV (DPCAKCV) is a normally open, pilot-operated, 2-way directional cartridge valve designed for moderate flow circuits. It can function independently or in conjunction with larger pilot-operated directional or logic cartridges. The valve activates when the pressure differential between port 1 and port 3 surpasses a preset threshold. It's important to note that pressure at port 3 adds directly to the valve's setting, which may limit its use as a work port in some circuits; if so, a 4-port version might be more suitable. This valve is not bistable and can modulate between two positions, with maximum pressure at port 3 limited to 3000 psi due to fatigue strength considerations. The DPCAKCV features Sun's floating style construction to reduce the risk of internal binding from installation torque or machining variations. The valve fits into a T2A cavity and belongs to series 2, with a capacity of up to 15 gpm (60 L/min). Factory pressure settings are established at flows of 4 gpm (15 L/min), and it can withstand a maximum operating pressure of 5000 psi (350 bar). Control pilot flow ranges from 10-15 in\u00b3/min (0.16-0.25 L/min), while maximum valve leakage is minimal at just 1 in\u00b3/min under specified conditions. For adjustment, the setting increases with approximately five clockwise turns, facilitated by an internal hex screw size of 5/32 inches (4 mm). The DPCAKCV has a model weight of .60 lb (0.30 kg) and requires an installation torque between 45-50 lbf\u00b7ft (61-68 Nm).

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.
