The Sun Hydraulics DPCDLAV (DPCDLAV) is a pilot-operated, 3-way directional cartridge valve designed for moderate flow circuits. It functions as a switching device that opens from port 1 to port 2 while blocking port 3, and can be used independently or to actuate larger pilot-operated or logic cartridges. The valve shifts when the pressure differential between ports 1 and 3 surpasses the set threshold, with pressure at port 3 directly adding to this setting. This feature makes port 3 unsuitable as a work port in certain circuits, suggesting the use of a four-port version if necessary. The DPCDLAV valve is interchangeable with direct-acting versions, sharing the same cavities and flow paths. It can modulate between two positions but is not bistable, with a maximum pressure limit at port 3 of 3000 psi due to fatigue strength constraints. The valve incorporates Sun's floating style construction to reduce internal binding risks from excessive installation torque or cavity/cartridge machining variations. With a capacity of 15 gpm (60 L/min) and maximum operating pressure of 5000 psi (350 bar), it features control pilot flow between 10-15 in\u00b3/min (0.16-0.25 L/min) and minimal leakage under specified conditions. Adjustments are made via an internal hex screw, with specific torque requirements for installation and locknut adjustments. The DPCDLAV model weighs approximately .60 lb (0.30 kg) and uses Viton seal kits for optimal performance in hydraulic systems requiring reliable directional control capabilities.

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.
