The Sun Hydraulics SXCALCV (Material Number: SXCALCV) is a direct-acting sequence valve designed for hydraulic systems requiring precise control of pressure and flow. This valve activates a secondary circuit once the inlet port 1 pressure surpasses the preset threshold, maintaining control by referencing the pressure at drain port 3. All three-port sequence cartridges are interchangeable, ensuring compatibility within the same frame size. Notably, this zero pilot flow valve necessitates an open connection at port 3 to prevent malfunction due to seal weepage, with pressures not exceeding 5000 psi (350 bar). The valve is ideal for load-holding applications and features corrosion-resistant options identified by specific model code suffixes for use in harsh environments. It incorporates Sun's floating style construction to mitigate binding issues from installation torque or machining variations. The SXCALCV operates within a cavity T-11A and has a series 1 capacity of 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. Valve leakage is minimal, with a maximum of ten drops per minute at reseat. The adjustment mechanism allows for pressure setting changes by turning clockwise up to four turns. Installation requires specific torques: valve hex size is 7/8 in. (22.2 mm), with an installation torque range of 30-35 lbf ft (41-47 Nm). The adjustment screw uses an internal hex size of 5/32 in. (4 mm), while the locknut hex size is 9/16 in. (15 mm) with a torque requirement of 80-90 lbf in. (9-10 Nm). The model weighs .30 lb (.15 kg) and includes a Viton seal kit option under cartridge number 990011006 for enhanced durability and performance in various applications.

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.
