The Sun Hydraulics FXAAXDV (FXAAXDV) is a fixed-orifice, pressure-compensated flow control valve designed to provide precise flow regulation for both meter-in and meter-out applications, even in systems with wide pressure fluctuations. This component is available in various flow rates to suit different system requirements. The sharp-edged orifice design minimizes variations caused by changes in fluid viscosity, ensuring consistent performance. It can withstand pressures up to 5000 psi (350 bar) at ports 1 and 2, making it suitable for high-pressure applications. This cartridge valve incorporates Sun's floating style construction, which reduces the risk of internal parts binding due to excessive installation torque or machining variations in the cavity or cartridge. It fits into a T8A cavity and belongs to the P series with a capacity of 0.5 gpm (2 L/min). The valve has a hex size of 7/8 inch (22.2 mm) and should be installed with a torque between 25 and 30 lbf-ft (35 to 40 Nm). For systems using phosphate ester fluids, cartridges with EPDM seals are recommended, as exposure to petroleum-based fluids can damage these seals. The flow tolerances vary by configuration: 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. This product is ideal for applications requiring reliable flow control under varying operating conditions. Additionally, it is crucial for users to ensure proper sizing of actuators and circuits to manage heat generation effectively within hydraulic systems using this type of flow control valve.
