The Sun Hydraulics SXCALEN (SXCALEN) is a direct-acting sequence valve designed to supply a secondary circuit with flow when the inlet port pressure exceeds the valve setting. This model is part of a versatile line of sequence cartridges that are interchangeable in terms of flow path and cavity size, ensuring compatibility across various applications. The valve features zero pilot flow, requiring the drain port 3 to be connected to maintain pressure reference in the control chamber, preventing malfunction due to seal weepage. It supports a maximum operating pressure of 5000 psi (350 bar) and is suitable for load-holding applications. The design incorporates Sun's floating style construction, reducing the risk of internal parts binding from excessive torque or machining variations. The SXCALEN can handle a capacity of up to 15 gpm (60 L/min) with factory pressure settings established at 2 in/min (30 cc/min). It has a typical response time of 2 ms and minimal leakage at reseat, measuring up to 10 drops/min (0.7 cc/min). The valve construction includes corrosion-resistant materials, available with external stainless steel or zinc-nickel plating for use in corrosive environments. Adjustments can be made through an internal hex screw with specific torque requirements for both installation and locknut adjustments. This model's compact design and robust capabilities make it ideal for applications requiring precise control over hydraulic sequences, ensuring reliable performance even in demanding conditions.

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.
