The Sun Hydraulics DPCMKEN (DPCMKEN) is a normally open, pilot-operated, 2-way directional cartridge valve designed for moderate flow circuits. This versatile valve can function independently or serve to actuate larger pilot-operated directional or logic cartridges. It operates by shifting when the pressure differential between port 1 and port 4 surpasses a specified setting. To prevent shifting, port 4 can be blocked, while port 3 may serve as a work port. The design allows for interchangeability with direct-acting versions, fitting the same cavities and maintaining identical flow paths. This valve incorporates Sun's floating style construction to reduce the risk of internal parts binding due to excessive installation torque or machining variations in the cavity/cartridge. It has a capacity of 15 gpm (60 L/min) and operates at a maximum pressure of 5000 psi (350 bar), with factory pressure settings established at 4 gpm (15 L/min). The maximum allowable pressure at port 3 is limited to 3000 psi (210 bar) due to fatigue strength considerations. Additional specifications include control pilot flow ranging from 10 to 15 in\u00b3/min (0.16 to 0.25 L/min), and maximum valve leakage at 110 SUS (24 cSt) being limited to 1 in\u00b3/min/1000 psi (15 cc/min/70 bar). The valve's adjustment features allow for up to five clockwise turns to increase settings, using an internal hex size of 5/32 inches (4 mm). Installation requires a torque range between 45 and 50 lbf\u00b7ft (61 and 68 Nm), with the locknut needing a torque of between 80 and 90 lbf\u00b7in (9 and 10 Nm). Overall, this cartridge valve provides robust modulation capabilities between two positions without being bistable. When pilot pressure exceeds the set limit, pilot flow should be considered; if problematic, opting for a direct-acting version could be beneficial.

Normally open, pilot-operated, 2-way directional cartridges 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 4 exceeds the setting.
- Port 4 can be blocked to prevent the valve from shifting.
- Port 3 can be used as a work port.
- Direct-acting and pilot-operated versions of these valves are interchangeable. They fit the same cavities and have the same flow paths.
- Pressure at port 4 is directly additive to the setting of the valve.
- 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.
