The Sun Hydraulics SXEACEN (SXEACEN) is a direct-acting sequence valve designed to supply a secondary circuit with flow once the pressure at inlet port 1 surpasses the predetermined valve setting. This versatile valve features a pressure setting that controls the pressure at port 1 relative to the drain port 3, making it suitable for load holding applications. The valve is constructed with Sun's floating style design, which minimizes internal part binding due to excessive installation torque or machining variations. It offers a maximum operating pressure of 5000 psi (350 bar) and can handle flow capacities up to 30 gpm (120 L/min). The valve is physically and functionally interchangeable with other three-port sequence cartridges of the same frame size, ensuring consistent flow paths and cavity compatibility. Although it operates as a zero pilot flow valve, it requires port 3 to be connected to maintain pressure reference; otherwise, blocking port 3 can lead to malfunction due to seal weepage. The pressure at port 3 directly adds to the valve setting in a 1:1 ratio and should not exceed the maximum threshold of 5000 psi (350 bar). Additional specifications include factory-established pressure settings at a minimum flow rate of 2 in\u00b3/min (30 cc/min), response time typically around 2 ms, and maximum valve leakage at reseat limited to 10 drops/min (0.7 cc/min). Installation requires specific torque settings for optimal performance: Valve hex size is 1-1/8 inches with an installation torque of 45-50 lbf-ft (61-68 Nm), adjustment screw internal hex size is 5/32 inches, and locknut hex size is 9/16 inches with a torque of 80-90 lbf-in (9-10 Nm). The model weighs approximately .60 lb (.30 kg) and incorporates Viton seals for enhanced durability.
