The Sun Hydraulics FTEAXCN (Material Number: FTEAXCN) is a 2-way, 2-position proportional throttle valve designed for precise flow control in hydraulic systems. This valve operates by allowing pilot pressure at port 1 to oppose the spring, creating a variable metering orifice between ports 2 and 3, with the flow being proportional to the pressure at port 1. It features a dual path design with ports 2 and 3 incorporating a double port area, which provides partial self-compensation as load pressures change. To enhance pressure compensation, an external modulating logic element such as LRCXHN or LPCXHN can be used. The FTEAXCN valve is capable of maintaining accurate flow control by ensuring a constant pressure differential across the valve. The valve's construction minimizes internal part binding due to excessive installation torque or machining variations, thanks to its floating style design. It fits into T-53AD cavities and belongs to series 3 with a capacity of up to 25 gpm (95 L/min). The minimum pilot pressure required for shifting the valve is 80 psi (5.5 bar), while full shift at rated flow requires 350 psi (24 bar). The maximum operating pressure is rated at 5000 psi (350 bar), with maximum leakage of 10 in\u00b3/min (160 cc/min) at specified conditions. Additional features include an optional stroke adjustment control for limiting maximum flow and compatibility with Viton seal kits for enhanced durability. The model weighs approximately 4.40 lbs (2.00 kg) and requires specific torque settings for installation and adjustment components, ensuring secure operation in demanding applications.

This valve is a 2-way, 2 position, proportional throttle. Pilot pressure at port 1 opposes the spring and creates a variable metering orifice between port 2 and 3 that is proportional to the pressure at 1. The force balance of the flow forces, spring and pilot pressure results in a degree of partial self-compensation as the load pressure changes.

Pressure at port 4 directly opposes pressure at port 1.

The valve uses a dual path design. Ports 2 and 3 incorporate a double port area.

  • These valves may be pressure compensated by an external, modulating, logic element. Use LR_C-XHN for a bypass circuit or LP_C-XHN for a restrictive circuit.
  • The valve provides a degree of self-compensation and may be used as a flow control. To increase the accuracy of flow control, an external, modulating, logic element can be used to maintain a constant flow over a wider range of flows and pressures. See performance curves for additional information.
  • The optional L control is a stroke adjustment that limits maximum flow.
  • Ports 1 and 4 should be limited to 500 psi (35 bar).
  • Pressure at port 4 directly opposes pressure at port 1.
  • Accurate pressure compensated control requires that a constant pressure differential be maintained across the valve.
  • 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.
