The Sun Hydraulics FXCAXAV (FXCAXAV) is a fixed-orifice, pressure-compensated flow control valve designed for precise flow regulation in meter-in or meter-out applications, even under wide pressure fluctuations. The factory sets the flow setting based on user specifications, with an accuracy within 10% of the requested setting. This model is particularly suitable for systems using phosphate ester fluids, as it features EPDM seals that can be damaged by petroleum-based fluids. The sharp-edged orifice design minimizes variations due to viscosity changes, and the tuneable control option allows for a 25% variation from the nominal factory preset flow by adjusting clockwise to increase flow. All 2-port flow control cartridges are interchangeable in terms of flow path and cavity size but may vary in cartridge extension dimensions from the mounting surface. The FXCAXAV model incorporates Sun's floating style construction to prevent internal parts binding due to excessive installation torque or machining variations. It fits into a T-13A cavity and belongs to Series 1 with a capacity of 6 gpm (23 L/min) and can withstand a maximum operating pressure of 5000 psi (350 bar). The valve features a hex size of 7/8 in. (22.2 mm) and requires an installation torque between 30 to 35 lbf ft (41 to 47 Nm). The adjustment screw has an internal hex size of 5/32 in. (4 mm), while the locknut has a hex size of 9/16 in. (15 mm) with a torque requirement of 80 to 90 lbf in. (9 to 10 Nm). Weighing .30 lb (.15 kg), this model also provides corrosion resistance options identified by suffixes AP or LH for external stainless steel or zinc-nickel plated components respectively.
