The Sun Hydraulics DPCDCEN (DPCDCEN) is a pilot-operated, 3-way directional cartridge designed for moderate flow circuits. This versatile component can be used independently or to actuate larger pilot-operated directional cartridges or logic cartridges. The valve operates by shifting when the pressure differential between port 1 and port 3 exceeds its set threshold, with pressure at port 3 being directly additive to the valve setting. It's important to note that port 3 may not be suitable as a work port in certain circuit configurations, but a 4-port version of this valve can address such concerns. The DPCDCEN model incorporates Sun's floating style construction, reducing the risk of internal part binding due to excessive installation torque or machining variations. This valve is capable of modulating between two positions but is not bistable. It has a maximum operating pressure of 5000 psi (350 bar) and a capacity of 15 gpm (60 L/min). The factory pressure settings are established at 4 gpm (15 L/min), and the maximum allowable leakage at 110 SUS (24 cSt) is rated at 1 in\u00b3/min (1000 psi). For installation, the valve requires a cavity type T-2A and features an adjustment screw with an internal hex size of 5/32 inches (4 mm). The adjustment allows for up to five clockwise turns to increase the setting. Additionally, the locknut hex size is 9/16 inches (15 mm), and it should be torqued between 80-90 lbf-in (9-10 Nm). The valve itself weighs approximately .60 lb (.30 kg) and includes a Viton seal kit for maintenance purposes.

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.
