Technical Features [ + ]

This solenoid-operated 3-way, 2-position cartridge is a direct-acting, balanced spool directional valve.

  • Flow capacity may vary per spool type and inlet port. Refer to the performance limits for more information.
  • This valve is direct actuated and requires no minimum hydraulic pressure for operation.
  • The solenoid tube assembly is fatigue rated for 3600 psi (250 bar) service.
  • This valve is available with a manual push-type override option.
  • All ports are rated to a maximum operating pressure of 3600 psi (250 bar).
  • The cartridge installation torque of 22 lbf ft (30 Nm) is required for best performance.
  • Coil connector options offer ratings up to IP67. See individual coil product pages for details.
  • The metal coil nut is a functional feature of the valve and should be correctly installed for proper performance of the valve.
  • Coils can be mounted on the tube in either direction.

There are exactly 250 Sun drops in a cubic inch or 15 in a cc.

Direct-acting valves are used to prevent over pressure, and pilot-operated valves are used to regulate pressure. If you are unsure, use a direct-acting valve. Sun's direct acting valves are very fast, dirt tolerant, stable, and robust. Sun's pilot-operated valves are moderately fast, they have a low pressure rise vs. flow curve, and they are easy to adjust.

Only external seals are serviceable.  Sun offers replacement seal kits for all cartridge models. The applicable kit part number can be found in the product page's Technical Data table or by using our Cartridge Seal Kit search function located under Accessories. Please note: Converting the external seals from one material to another does not ensure fluid compatibility with that material due to the existence of internal seals within the cartridge.
