The Sun Hydraulics FXAAXAE (FXAAXAE) is a fixed-orifice, pressure-compensated flow control valve designed for precise flow regulation in meter-in or meter-out applications, even under conditions of wide pressure fluctuations. This model offers a variety of flow rates ranging from 32 cc/min to 72 cc/min, making it versatile for different hydraulic system requirements. The sharp-edged orifice design effectively minimizes variations in flow due to changes in fluid viscosity. It can handle maximum operating pressures up to 5000 psi (350 bar) at ports 1 and 2, ensuring robust performance in high-pressure environments. The FXAAXAE model incorporates Sun's floating style construction, which reduces the likelihood of internal parts binding from excessive installation torque or machining variations within the cavity/cartridge. This feature enhances the reliability and longevity of the valve. The valve fits into a T8A cavity and belongs to the P Series with a capacity of .5 gpm (2 L/min). It requires a valve hex size of 7/8 inch (22.2 mm) and an installation torque between 25-30 lbf ft (35-40 Nm). For systems utilizing phosphate ester fluids, cartridges with EPDM seals are available; however, these seals are not compatible with petroleum-based fluids or greases. The product's flow accuracy is claimed at \u00b110%, but production testing achieves \u00b15% accuracy to accommodate varying customer conditions. To maintain optimal accuracy, it is recommended to operate within the lower two-thirds of the flow range. This flow control valve is suitable for applications where precise flow regulation is critical and can be used effectively in circuits requiring consistent performance despite potential pressure changes.
