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.
