The Sun Hydraulics DPCAKEN (Material Number: DPCAKEN) is a normally open, pilot-operated, 2-way directional cartridge valve designed for moderate flow circuits. It serves as a reliable switching device that can be used independently or to actuate larger pilot-operated directional or logic cartridges. The valve operates by shifting when the pressure differential between port 1 and port 3 exceeds the preset threshold. Notably, pressure at port 3 is directly additive to the valve's setting, which may limit its use as a work port in certain circuit configurations. For such cases, a 4-port version of this valve might be more suitable. This model is capable of modulating between two positions rather than being bistable. It features Sun's floating-style construction to minimize internal part binding due to excessive installation torque or machining variations in cavities and cartridges. The maximum allowable pressure at port 3 is limited to 3000 psi (210 bar) due to fatigue strength constraints rather than hydraulic limits. The DPCAKEN fits into a T-2A cavity and belongs to series 2 with a capacity of handling up to 15 gpm (60 L/min). Factory pressure settings are established at a flow rate of 4 gpm (15 L/min). It can operate under a maximum pressure of 5000 psi (350 bar) with control pilot flow ranging from 10-15 in\u00b3/min (0.16-0.25 L/min). The valve allows for adjustment through clockwise turns, with specific hex sizes provided for adjustments and locknut torque settings. With minimal leakage rates and robust construction, this cartridge valve offers versatility in various hydraulic applications where moderate flow regulation is required without bistability concerns.

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.
