The Sun Hydraulics SXCACAN (Material Number: SXCACAN) is a direct-acting sequence valve designed to supply a secondary circuit with flow once the pressure at inlet port 1 exceeds the valve's setting. It controls the pressure at port 1 in relation to the drain port 3, and is suitable for load holding applications. This valve is part of a series that features physically and functionally interchangeable 3-port sequence cartridges, which share the same flow path and cavity for a given frame size. The SXCACAN model requires port 3 to be connected as it serves as a pressure reference in the control chamber; blocking this port can lead to malfunction due to reciprocating seal weepage. The pressure at port 3 adds directly to the valve setting at a 1:1 ratio, with a maximum allowable pressure of 5000 psi (350 bar). This corrosion-resistant cartridge incorporates Sun's floating style construction, minimizing potential internal part binding due to excessive installation torque or cavity/cartridge machining variations. It features a capacity of 15 gpm (60 L/min) and can handle maximum operating pressures up to 5000 psi (350 bar). The factory pressure settings are established at a flow rate of 2 in\u00b3/min (30 cc/min), with typical response times around 2 milliseconds. Valve leakage at reseat is minimal, capped at approximately 10 drops per minute or 0.7 cc/min. The adjustment mechanism allows for increasing settings through clockwise turns, supported by specific torque requirements for installation and locknut adjustments. Additionally, options for corrosion resistance include external stainless steel components or zinc-nickel plating, identified by suffixes AP or LH in the model code respectively.
