The Sun Hydraulics DPCBKEN (DPCBKEN) is a normally closed, pilot-operated, 2-way directional cartridge valve designed for moderate flow circuits. It functions as a switching device and 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 set threshold. Notably, pressure at port 3 adds directly to the valve setting, which may limit its use as a work port in certain circuits; in such cases, a 4-port version might be more appropriate. This model is not bistable and can modulate between two positions. It features Sun's floating style construction to reduce internal part binding due to excessive torque or machining variations. The DPCBKEN fits into cavity T-2A and belongs to series 2, with a capacity of 15 gpm (60 L/min) and maximum operating pressure of 5000 psi (350 bar). Factory pressure settings are established at a flow rate of 4 gpm (15 L/min). The control pilot flow ranges from 10 to 15 in\u00b3/min (0.16 to 0.25 L/min), with maximum valve leakage at specified conditions being just 1 in\u00b3/min (15 cc/min). Adjustments are made through clockwise turns with specific torque requirements for installation and locknut adjustments. The valve weighs approximately .60 lb (0.30 kg) and utilizes Viton seals for durability. When selecting between direct-acting or pilot-operated versions of these valves, consider that direct-acting options prevent overpressure while pilot-operated ones regulate it. The DPCBKEN offers moderate speed, low pressure rise versus flow curve, and ease of adjustment, making it suitable for various hydraulic applications requiring reliable directional control under specific pressure conditions.

Normally closed, 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.
