The Sun Hydraulics FRDBLAV (Material Number: FRDBLAV) is a 2-port restrictive flow control valve designed to fit into a 3-port cavity, specifically the T-2A cavity. This model does not connect to port 2 of the cavity and requires customers to specify a flow rating, with factory-set flow ratings accurate within 10% of the requested setting. The valve features a sharp-edged orifice design that minimizes flow variations due to changes in viscosity, making it reliable for precise applications. It also includes a tunable adjustment control option that allows up to 25% variation from the nominal factory preset flow, adjustable with three turns of the adjust screw; turning clockwise increases the flow. With a capacity of 12 gpm (45 L/min) and maximum operating pressure of 5000 psi (350 bar), this valve is robust and versatile. The maximum input flow is rated at 30 gpm (120 L/min). Installation requires a torque between 45 to 50 lbf ft (61 to 68 Nm), and it features an internal hex size adjustment screw of 5/32 inches (4 mm). The locknut hex size is set at 9/16 inches (15 mm) with torque requirements between 80 to 90 lbf in (9 to 10 Nm). Weighing approximately .40 lb (.20 kg), it incorporates Sun's floating style construction which minimizes internal part binding due to installation torque or machining variations. This product is well-suited for applications requiring precise control over hydraulic fluid flow under high-pressure conditions, ensuring stable performance even with viscosity changes.

Description

This valve is a 2 port restrictive flow control valve that fits into a 3 port cavity. There is no connection to port 2 of the cavity.

Customer must specify a flow rating. Factory set flow ratings are within +/- 10% of the requested setting.
Maximum pressure at port 3 should be limited to 3000 psi (210 bar).
The sharp-edged orifice design minimizes flow variations due to viscosity changes.
A tuneable adjustment control option provides up to +/- 25% variation from the nominal factory pre-set flow. Adjustment is done with +/- 3 turns of the adjust screw. Screw in (CW) to increase flow.
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.
