The Sun Hydraulics DPCDKEN (DPCDKEN) is a pilot-operated, 3-way directional cartridge valve designed for moderate flow circuits. This model operates by opening ports 1 to 2 while blocking port 3, and it shifts when the pressure differential between these ports exceeds the set threshold. The valve is versatile, suitable for use alone or to actuate larger pilot-operated directional or logic cartridges. It's important to note that pressure at port 3 directly affects the valve setting; therefore, using port 3 as a work port may not be feasible unless opting for a four-port version. The DPCDKEN is not bistable but can modulate between two positions. The valve uses Sun's floating style construction, which helps reduce internal part binding from excessive installation torque or machining variations in the cavity or cartridge. It fits into a T-2A cavity and has a capacity of 15 gpm (60 L/min), with factory pressure settings established at 4 gpm (15 L/min). The maximum operating pressure is rated at 5000 psi (350 bar), while maximum pressure at port 3 should be limited to 3000 psi (210 bar) due to fatigue strength limits. For control pilot flow, it ranges from 10 to 15 in\u00b3/min (0.16 to 0.25 L/min). Valve leakage is minimal, with a maximum of 1 in\u00b3/min at 1000 psi (15 cc/min at 70 bar). Adjustments are made by turning clockwise up to five turns to increase settings, with specific torque requirements for installation and locknut adjustments. The DPCDKEN weighs approximately .60 lb (.30 kg) and comes with a Viton seal kit option available under part number 990202006.

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.
