The Sun Hydraulics FCABXIN (FCABXIN) is a fixed orifice, pressure-compensated flow control valve with a reverse flow check, designed to provide precise flow regulation for meter-in or meter-out applications subject to wide pressure fluctuations. Featuring an integral high-capacity check valve, it allows unrestricted flow from port 2 to port 1. The valve's flow setting is user-specified and factory-set for optimal performance. Accurate pressure-compensated control requires maintaining a constant pressure differential across the valve, with the sharp-edged orifice design minimizing flow variations due to viscosity changes. A tunable control option provides a 25% variation from the nominal factory preset flow, adjustable by turning clockwise to increase flow. This model is part of Sun's Series 2 and fits into cavity T-5A, supporting a maximum operating pressure of 5000 psi (350 bar). It features a valve hex size of 1-1/8 inches (28.6 mm) and should be installed with a torque of 45-50 lbf ft (61-68 Nm). The adjustment screw has an internal hex size of 5/32 inches (4 mm), while the locknut hex size is 9/16 inches (15 mm), requiring a torque of 80-90 lbf in (9-10 Nm). The model weighs approximately .50 lb (0.25 kg) and uses Viton seal kit number 990203006. The FCABXIN incorporates Sun's floating style construction to minimize internal part binding due to excessive installation torque or machining variations in cavity/cartridge dimensions. All two-port flow control cartridges are interchangeable within their frame size, though cartridge extension dimensions may vary from the mounting surface. This product is ideal for applications requiring consistent and precise hydraulic fluid control under varying conditions.

Description

Fixed-orifice, pressure-compensated flow controls with reverse-flow check provide precise flow regulation for meter-in or meter-out applications where there may be wide pressure fluctuations. An integral high-capacity check valve provides unrestricted flow from port 2 to port 1. The flow setting is specified by the user and is set at the factory.

Customer must specify a flow rating.
Accurate pressure compensated control requires that a constant pressure differential be maintained across the valve.
The sharp-edged orifice design minimizes flow variations due to viscosity changes.
The tuneable control option provides +/- 25% variation from the nominal factory pre-set flow. Turn the adjustment clockwise to increase.
All 2-port flow control cartridges are physically and functionally interchangeable (i.e. same flow path, same cavity for a given frame size). However, cartridge extension dimensions from the mounting surface may vary.
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.

Show FAQ

What happens if I block the bypass port on a priority flow control?	The valve acts as a 2 port restrictive flow control.
How big is a drop of hydraulic oil?	There are exactly 250 Sun drops in a cubic inch or 15 in a cc.
How accurate are Sun's flow controls?	We claim +/- 10%. We set to +/- 5% in production testing to allow for differences in customers' conditions. If you want accuracy, stay in the bottom 2/3rds of the range. Our 12 gpm (45 L/min.) flow controls are quite flat at 9 gpm (34 L/min.) and dead flat below 6 gpm (23 L/min.), until you get to the bottom of the range. Below about .25 gpm (1 L/min.), spool leakage and orifice conditions start to limit accuracy.
I have a heat problem, will Sun's priority flow control help?	I am afraid not. Unless you are overflowing your current valve and correctly size ours, you are not likely to notice any improvement. Priority flow controls are not efficient devices. They are an easy way to get more than 1 source of oil from 1 pump but they can generate a lot of heat. Try to size your actuators so the pressures are similar on both the priority and the bypass circuits. If you can't do that, try to have the lower flow leg be the lower pressure. The pump pressure is determined by whichever leg is higher and if there is flow that is taking a pressure drop that is not doing work it is creating heat.
What happens if I block the control flow (priority) port?	All flow is blocked, hence the term priority. The priority flow has to be satisfied.
What is the compensating pressure of Sun's flow controls?	The spring force in our flow controls equates to about 100 psi (7 bar). This is high enough to give the valves acceptable capacity (not really) and not too high for proper circuit operation. 100 psi (7 bar) is the spring force; at the upper end of the flow control's range, the drop through the valve will be as high as 250 psi (17 bar) before it starts modulating.
What is the pressure drop through a flow control?	In a meter-in flow control circuit if the pump is set at 3000 psi and the load is 2000 psi the drop through the flow control is 1000 psi. In a meter-out circuit with the load at 2000 psi the drop through the flow control is 2000 psi.
