The Sun Hydraulics DPCDCAV (DPCDCAV) is a pilot-operated, 3-way directional cartridge valve designed for moderate flow circuits. This valve allows flow from port 1 to port 2 while blocking port 3, and it shifts when the pressure differential between ports 1 and 3 exceeds a predefined setting. Notably, pressure at port 3 directly adds to the valve's setting, which means that port 3 might not be suitable as a work port in certain circuits; in such cases, a four-port version could be considered. The DPCDCAV model is interchangeable with direct-acting versions and fits the same cavities with identical flow paths. Additionally, it incorporates Sun's floating style construction to minimize potential binding of internal parts due to excessive torque or machining variations. This valve is not bistable and can modulate between two positions. It supports a maximum operating pressure of up to 5000 psi (350 bar) and has a capacity of handling up to 15 gpm (60 L/min). The maximum permissible pressure at port 3 should be limited to 3000 psi (210 bar) due to fatigue strength constraints rather than hydraulic limits. The valve's control pilot flow ranges from 10-15 in\u00b3/min (0.16-0.25 L/min), with a maximum leakage rate of 1 in\u00b3/min at 110 SUS (24 cSt). For adjustments, the setting can be increased by turning clockwise up to five full rotations. The installation requires specific torque settings: the valve itself needs between 45-50 lbf\u00b7ft (61-68 Nm), while the locknut requires torque between 80-90 lbf\u00b7in (9-10 Nm). The DPCDCAV model weighs approximately .60 lb (.30 kg) and utilizes Viton seals for optimal performance under various conditions.

Pilot-operated, 3-way directional cartridges (1 to 2 open, 3 blocked) 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.
- Port 3 can be blocked to prevent the valve from shifting.
- 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.
