The Sun Hydraulics DPCPKEN (DPCPKEN) is a pilot-operated, 3-way directional cartridge valve designed for moderate flow circuits. This versatile valve can function independently or in conjunction with larger pilot-operated directional or logic cartridges. Its primary operation involves switching when the pressure differential between port 1 and port 4 exceeds the preset threshold. Notably, port 4 can be blocked to prevent shifting, while port 3 serves as a work port. The DPCPKEN features interchangeable direct-acting and pilot-operated versions that fit identical cavities and share flow paths. It is capable of modulating between two positions rather than being bistable, with pressure at port 4 directly influencing the valve setting. The valve's construction incorporates Sun's floating style design to minimize internal binding due to installation torque or machining variations. It has a maximum operating pressure of 5000 psi (350 bar) and a capacity of 15 gpm (60 L/min). The valve's factory pressure settings are established at a flow rate of 4 gpm (15 L/min). Control pilot flow ranges from 10 to 15 in\u00b3/min (0.16 to 0.25 L/min), with maximum leakage at 110 SUS (24 cSt) limited to 1 in\u00b3/min/1000 psi (15 cc/min/70 bar). For installation, the valve requires a hex size of 1-1/8 inches (28.6 mm) and an installation torque of 45-50 lbf-ft (61-68 Nm). Adjustments are made via an internal hex screw size of 5/32 inches (4 mm), while the locknut requires a hex size of 9/16 inches (15 mm) with a torque specification of 80-90 lbf-in (9-10 Nm). The model weighs approximately .60 lb (.30 kg) and uses Viton seal kits for optimal performance.

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 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.
