The Sun Hydraulics CSAXEXV (CSAXEXV) is a high-performance shuttle valve designed for hydraulic systems requiring reliable load sensing and signal routing capabilities. This model, part of Sun Hydraulics' T-16A series, features a single ball mechanism that effectively connects the higher of two work ports to a signal or common port, with the signal being sensed at port 3. The CSAXEXV is engineered with hardened steel balls and seats, enhancing its wear characteristics and tolerance to contamination. This design ensures durability and consistent performance even in demanding applications. The valve's construction incorporates Sun's unique floating style, which reduces the risk of internal parts binding due to excessive installation torque or variations in cavity/cartridge machining. This feature is crucial for maintaining operational reliability and extending the service life of the component. The CSAXEXV has a maximum operating pressure of 5000 psi (350 bar) and a flow capacity of 1.25 gpm (4.7 L/min), making it suitable for a wide range of hydraulic applications. Additional specifications include a maximum valve leakage rate at 110 SUS (24 cSt) of approximately 5 drops/min (0.3 cc/min), indicating efficient performance with minimal fluid loss. The valve requires an installation torque between 20 - 25 lbf ft (27 - 33 Nm) and has a hex size of 3/4 in (19.1 mm). Weighing only about 0.20 lb (0.10 kg), the CSAXEXV is compact yet robust enough to handle various hydraulic functions where accurate pressure modulation is needed.
