The Sun Hydraulics FXAAXAN (FXAAXAN) is a fixed orifice, pressure-compensated flow control valve designed to provide precise flow regulation for both meter-in and meter-out applications, especially in scenarios with wide pressure fluctuations. This model offers a range of flow rates, ensuring versatility in various applications. The sharp-edged orifice design is particularly effective in minimizing flow variations due to viscosity changes, making it reliable under different operational conditions. It can handle pressures up to 5000 psi (350 bar) at ports 1 and 2, showcasing its robustness for demanding environments. The FXAAXAN incorporates Sun's floating style construction, which minimizes the risk of internal parts binding due to excessive installation torque or variations in cavity/cartridge machining. This feature enhances the reliability and longevity of the valve. It fits into a T8A cavity and belongs to the P series with a capacity of 0.5 gpm (2 L/min). The valve's hex size is 7/8 inch (22.2 mm), and it requires an installation torque of 25-30 lbf-ft (35-40 Nm). For specific fluid compatibility, cartridges with EPDM seals are suitable for systems using phosphate ester fluids but should not be exposed to petroleum-based fluids as this could damage the seals. The valve's flow tolerances vary across different rates: A Flow Rate at 32 cc/min, B Flow Rate at 40 cc/min, D and F Flow Rates at 48 cc/min, H and J Flow Rates at 64 cc/min, and L Flow Rate at 72 cc/min. Overall, the Sun Hydraulics FXAAXAN is engineered for precision control in hydraulic systems requiring consistent performance across varying pressures and viscosities.
