The Sun Hydraulics DPCALEV (Material Number: DPCALEV) is a normally open, pilot-operated, 2-way directional cartridge valve designed for moderate flow circuits. It serves as a switching device and can be utilized 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 surpasses the preset value. Notably, pressure at port 3 contributes directly to the valve's setting, which may limit its use as a work port in some circuits; in such cases, a 4-port version might be more suitable. The valve is not bistable and can modulate between two positions. Engineered with Sun's floating style construction, the DPCALEV minimizes the risk of internal binding due to excessive installation torque or cavity machining variations. It fits into cavity T2A and belongs to Series 2, offering a capacity of up to 15 gpm (60 L/min). Factory pressure settings are established at a flow rate of 4 gpm (15 L/min), with 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), while maximum leakage is limited to 1 in\u00b3/min at 1000 psi (15 cc/min at 70 bar). The valve's adjustment requires up to five clockwise turns for setting increases, and it features specific hex sizes for both the valve body and adjustment screw: 1-1/8 inch (28.6 mm) for the valve hex size and 5/32 inch (4 mm) for the adjustment screw internal hex size. Installation torque ranges from 45-50 lbf ft (61-68 Nm), with locknut torque specified between 80-90 lbf in (9-10 Nm). The model weighs approximately .60 lb (.30 kg) and uses Viton seal kits for enhanced durability.

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.
