The Sun Hydraulics FRDDXBN (Material Number: FRDDXBN) is a bypass-restrictive, fixed-orifice, priority flow control valve designed to manage hydraulic flow effectively. It takes an input flow at port 1 and directs it to satisfy the priority flow at port 3. If the input flow surpasses the priority requirement, the excess is diverted through port 2 for use in secondary circuits. This model is more highly damped compared to the FRDA model, addressing system instability issues. Customers must specify a desired flow rating, with factory settings accurate within 10% of the requested value. The valve supports a maximum pressure of 3000 psi (210 bar) at port 3 and operates efficiently up to a maximum input flow of 30 gpm (120 L/min). Both priority and bypass flows are usable up to system operating pressure, maintaining relatively constant priority regardless of input variations. The valve features a sharp-edged orifice design that minimizes flow variations due to viscosity changes and offers an adjustable control option for up to a 25% variation from the nominal preset flow. Adjustments are made via a screw mechanism allowing for fine-tuning with three turns clockwise to increase flow. The Sun floating style construction minimizes internal part binding risks due to excessive installation torque or machining variations in cavities/cartridges. This model fits into cavity T-2A, belongs to series 2, and has a capacity of 12 gpm (45 L/min). It requires an installation torque between 45-50 lbf ft (61-68 Nm) and includes Viton seals as part of its cartridge seal kit. The FRDDXBN is suitable for applications requiring precise hydraulic flow management where both primary and secondary circuit operations are essential.

Description

Bypass/restrictive, fixed-orifice, priority flow controls take an input flow at port 1 and use it to satisfy the priority flow at port 3. If the input flow exceeds the priority flow requirement, the excess is bypassed out port 2. The bypass flow may be used in a secondary circuit.

This valve is more highly damped than the FRDA to help solve system instability problems.
Customer must specify a flow rating. Factory set flow ratings are within +/- 10% of the requested setting.
Maximum pressure at port 3 should be limited to 3000 psi (210 bar).
Both priority and bypass flow are usable up to the system operating pressure.
Priority remains relatively constant regardless of variation in input flow.
Bypass flow is not available until priority flow requirements are satisfied.
Pressure at the bypass port (port 2) may exceed pressure at the priority port (port 3).
The sharp-edged orifice design minimizes flow variations due to viscosity changes.
A tuneable adjustment control option provides up to +/- 25% variation from the nominal factory pre-set flow. Adjustment is done with +/- 3 turns of the adjust screw. Screw in (CW) to increase flow.
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.

Show FAQ

What happens if I block the bypass port on a priority flow control?	The valve acts as a 2 port restrictive flow control.
How big is a drop of hydraulic oil?	There are exactly 250 Sun drops in a cubic inch or 15 in a cc.
How accurate are Sun's flow controls?	We claim +/- 10%. We set to +/- 5% in production testing to allow for differences in customers' conditions. If you want accuracy, stay in the bottom 2/3rds of the range. Our 12 gpm (45 L/min.) flow controls are quite flat at 9 gpm (34 L/min.) and dead flat below 6 gpm (23 L/min.), until you get to the bottom of the range. Below about .25 gpm (1 L/min.), spool leakage and orifice conditions start to limit accuracy.
I have a heat problem, will Sun's priority flow control help?	I am afraid not. Unless you are overflowing your current valve and correctly size ours, you are not likely to notice any improvement. Priority flow controls are not efficient devices. They are an easy way to get more than 1 source of oil from 1 pump but they can generate a lot of heat. Try to size your actuators so the pressures are similar on both the priority and the bypass circuits. If you can't do that, try to have the lower flow leg be the lower pressure. The pump pressure is determined by whichever leg is higher and if there is flow that is taking a pressure drop that is not doing work it is creating heat.
What happens if I block the control flow (priority) port?	All flow is blocked, hence the term priority. The priority flow has to be satisfied.
What is the compensating pressure of Sun's flow controls?	The spring force in our flow controls equates to about 100 psi (7 bar). This is high enough to give the valves acceptable capacity (not really) and not too high for proper circuit operation. 100 psi (7 bar) is the spring force; at the upper end of the flow control's range, the drop through the valve will be as high as 250 psi (17 bar) before it starts modulating.
What is the pressure drop through a flow control?	In a meter-in flow control circuit if the pump is set at 3000 psi and the load is 2000 psi the drop through the flow control is 1000 psi. In a meter-out circuit with the load at 2000 psi the drop through the flow control is 2000 psi.
