The Sun Hydraulics DPCALDV (Material Number: DPCALDV) is a normally open, pilot-operated, 2-way directional cartridge valve designed for moderate flow circuits. This versatile valve can function independently or be used to actuate larger pilot-operated directional or logic cartridges. It operates by shifting when the pressure differential between port 1 and port 3 surpasses the set threshold. Notably, pressure at port 3 directly influences the valve's setting, which may limit its use as a work port in certain circuits; in such cases, a 4-port version might be more suitable. The DPCALDV is interchangeable with direct-acting valves as they share cavity dimensions and flow paths. This model is not bistable and can modulate between its two positions. The maximum allowable pressure at port 3 is capped at 3000 psi (210 bar) due to fatigue strength considerations rather than hydraulic limits. If pilot pressure surpasses the valve setting, pilot flow could become a factor; consulting performance curves for pilot consumption relative to load pressure is recommended. For issues related to pilot flow, opting for the direct-acting variant may resolve them. The valve incorporates Sun's floating style construction to reduce the risk of internal binding from excessive installation torque or machining variations. It fits into cavity T-2A, belongs to Series 2, and has 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 - 0.25 L/min), and maximum leakage is limited to 1 in\u00b3/min at 1000 psi (15 cc/min at 70 bar). The model features an adjustment mechanism requiring up to five clockwise turns to increase settings, with specific torque requirements for installation and locknut adjustments.

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.
