The Sun Hydraulics DPCAKEV (DPCAKEV) is a normally open, pilot-operated, 2-way directional cartridge valve designed for moderate flow circuits. This versatile component can be used independently or to actuate larger pilot-operated directional cartridges or logic cartridges. It operates by shifting when the pressure differential between port 1 and port 3 exceeds its set value. The valve's design incorporates Sun's floating style construction, which minimizes the risk of internal parts binding due to excessive installation torque and cavity or cartridge machining variations. The DPCAKEV fits a T2A cavity and belongs to Series 2, offering a capacity of up to 15 gpm (60 L/min). It is factory set at a pressure of 4 gpm (15 L/min) and can handle a maximum operating pressure of 5000 psi (350 bar). The control pilot flow ranges from 10 to 15 in\u00b3/min (0.16 to 0.25 L/min), with maximum valve leakage at 110 SUS (24 cSt) limited to 1 in\u00b3/min at 1000 psi (15 cc/min at 70 bar). The valve features an adjustment mechanism that allows for setting increases through up to five clockwise turns, with specific hex sizes for the valve, adjustment screw, and locknut. The model weighs approximately .60 lb (0.30 kg) and includes a Viton seal kit option. Applications for the DPCAKEV include circuits where modulation between two positions is required without bistability. It is crucial to consider pilot flow consumption when pilot pressure exceeds the valve setting; if this becomes an issue, opting for a direct-acting version may be advisable. Additionally, port 3 should not be used as a work port if its pressure exceeds the fatigue strength limit of 3000 psi (210 bar).

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.
