The Sun Hydraulics SXCALCN (Material Number: SXCALCN) is a direct-acting sequence valve designed to supply a secondary circuit with flow once the pressure at inlet port 1 exceeds the valve setting. It controls the pressure at port 1 relative to the drain port 3, and all three-port sequence cartridges are interchangeable for a given frame size. This zero pilot flow valve requires that port 3 be connected to maintain a pressure reference in the control chamber, as blocking it will 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 makes it suitable for load-holding applications. The cartridge is corrosion-resistant, available with external stainless steel components or zinc-nickel plating. It features Sun's floating style construction, which minimizes binding due to installation torque or machining variations. The SXCALCN has a cavity T-11A Series 1 and can handle capacities up to 15 gpm (60 L/min). Factory pressure settings are established at 2 in/min (30 cc/min), with a maximum operating pressure of 5000 psi (350 bar) and typical response time of 2 ms. Maximum valve leakage at reseat is limited to 10 drops/min (0.7 cc/min). The adjustment number requires clockwise turns up to four for increasing settings, with installation torque between 30-35 lbf-ft (41-47 Nm). The adjustment screw has an internal hex size of 5/32 in. (4 mm), while the locknut hex size is 9/16 in. (15 mm) with torque specifications of 80-90 lbf-in (9-10 Nm). Model weight is approximately .30 lb (.15 kg), and Viton seal kits are available under part number: 990011006.

Direct-acting sequence valves will supply a secondary circuit with flow once the pressure at the inlet (port 1) has exceeded the valve setting. The pressure setting of a sequence valve controls the pressure at port 1 relative to the pressure at the drain (port 3).
- All 3 port sequence cartridges are physically and functionally interchangeable (i.e. same flow path, same cavity for a given frame size).
- Although this is a zero pilot flow valve, port 3 (drain) must be connected to maintain a pressure reference in the control chamber. If port 3 is blocked, reciprocating seal weepage will cause the valve to malfunction.
- Pressure at port 3 is directly additive to the valve setting at a 1:1 ratio and should not exceed 5000 psi (350 bar).
- Suitable for use in load holding applications.
- 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.
