The Sun Hydraulics DPCDKAV (DPCDKAV) is a pilot-operated, 3-way directional cartridge valve designed for moderate flow circuits. This valve is primarily utilized to control fluid direction by opening flow between ports 1 and 2 while blocking port 3, making it suitable as a standalone component or for actuating 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 threshold, with any pressure at port 3 being directly additive to this setting. However, due to its design, port 3 may not be used as a work port in certain circuit configurations; in such cases, a four-port version might be more appropriate. The DPCDKAV features interchangeable direct-acting and pilot-operated versions that fit the same cavities and maintain identical flow paths. It incorporates Sun's floating style construction to minimize internal part binding due to installation torque variations or cavity machining discrepancies. The valve is capable of modulating between two positions rather than being bistable, with maximum pressure at port 3 limited to 3000 psi (210 bar) due to fatigue strength constraints. Key specifications include a cavity size of T-2A and a series designation of 2, with a capacity of handling up to 15 gpm (60 L/min). The maximum operating pressure is rated at 5000 psi (350 bar), with control pilot flow ranging from 10-15 in\u00b3/min (0.16-0.25 L/min). Maximum valve leakage is limited to 1 in\u00b3/min at 1000 psi (15 cc/min at 70 bar). The valve allows for adjustment through clockwise turns and requires specific torque settings for installation and locknut adjustments. Additionally, it comes with Viton seal kits 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.
