The Sun Hydraulics FXCAXAN (FXCAXAN) is a fixed orifice, pressure-compensated flow control valve designed for precise flow regulation in meter-in or meter-out applications. This product is ideal for systems experiencing wide pressure fluctuations, ensuring consistent performance by maintaining a factory-set flow rate specified by the user. The FXCAXAN model features sharp-edged orifice design to minimize flow variations caused by changes in fluid viscosity. It also offers a tunable control option that allows for a 25% variation from the nominal factory preset flow, with adjustments made by turning the screw clockwise to increase flow. This versatile cartridge valve is physically and functionally interchangeable with other 2-port flow control cartridges of the same frame size, although cartridge extension dimensions may vary. The FXCAXAN model incorporates Sun's floating style construction to reduce potential binding of internal parts due to excessive installation torque or machining variations. It is designed for use in systems with phosphate ester fluids when equipped with EPDM seals; exposure to petroleum-based fluids will damage these seals. The valve fits into a T-13A cavity and belongs to Series 1, with a capacity of 6 gpm (23 L/min) and can operate at a maximum pressure of 5000 psi (350 bar). The installation requires specific torques: 30-35 lbf ft (41-47 Nm) for the valve and 80-90 lbf in (9-10 Nm) for the locknut. The FXCAXAN weighs approximately .30 lb (0.15 kg) and comes with an optional Viton seal kit (990010006). This robust design makes it suitable for corrosive environments when configured with corrosion-resistant components such as stainless steel or zinc-nickel plating as indicated by suffixes AP or LH in the model code.

Fixed-orifice, pressure-compensated flow controls provide precise flow regulation for meter-in or meter-out applications where there may be wide pressure fluctuations. The flow setting is specified by the user and is set at the factory.
- Customer must specify a flow rating. Factory set flow ratings are within +/- 10% of the requested setting.
- Cartridges with EPDM seals are for use in systems with phosphate ester fluids. Exposure to petroleum based fluids, greases and lubricants will damage the seals.
- The sharp-edged orifice design minimizes flow variations due to viscosity changes.
- The tuneable control option provides +/- 25% variation from the nominal factory pre-set flow. Turn the adjustment clockwise to increase.
- All 2-port flow control cartridges are physically and functionally interchangeable (i.e. same flow path, same cavity for a given frame size). However, cartridge extension dimensions from the mounting surface may vary.
- Corrosion resistant cartridge valves are intended for use in corrosive environments and are identified by the model code suffix /AP for external stainless steel components, or /LH for external zinc-nickel plated components. See the CONFIGURATION section for all options. For further details, please see the Materials of Construction page located under TECH RESOURCES.
- 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.
