The Sun Hydraulics X3EDLANXA (X3EDLANXA) is a versatile hydraulic assembly designed for precise flow regulation in applications with varying pressure conditions. This unit features a fully adjustable, pressure-compensated flow control with a reverse-flow check valve, making it suitable for meter-in or meter-out scenarios. It allows for infinite adjustment from nearly closed to maximum flow, ensuring optimal performance across different operational requirements. The assembly includes an integral high-capacity check valve that facilitates unrestricted flow in the reverse direction. Flow rates can be quickly adjusted using a solenoid-operated, normally open or closed 2-way, 2-position valve. The sharp-edged orifice design minimizes flow variations caused by viscosity changes, ensuring consistent performance. Additionally, the balanced adjustment mechanism allows for easy adjustments even under high-pressure conditions. With a capacity of 30 gallons per minute (120 liters per minute), this sandwich-type body fits into ISO 05 XY interfaces and features a stack height of 2.49 inches (63 mm). The product is designed with a \"meter out T\" body feature and includes a seal plate as part of its construction. This hydraulic assembly is constructed using 6061-T651 aluminum, known for its corrosion resistance and strength, although it is not anodized due to considerations regarding cost, logistics, and fatigue life. Users are advised to consider the maximum system pressure carefully; aluminum manifolds are not rated for pressures exceeding 3000 psi (210 bar). This product offers robust solutions for applications requiring reliable flow control under fluctuating pressures while maintaining ease of use and adjustment flexibility.

Description

This assembly consists of a fully-adjustable, pressure-compensated flow control with reverse-flow check which provides precise flow regulation for meter-in or meter-out applications where there may be wide pressure fluctuations. It is infinitely adjustable from nearly closed up to the maximum flow. An integral high-capacity check valve provides unrestricted flow in the reverse direction. The rapid or feed rate is selected by a solenoid operated (normally open or closed) 2-way, 2-position valve.

The sharp-edged orifice design minimizes flow variations due to viscosity changes.
A balanced adjustment mechanism allows for easy adjustment even at high pressures.

Show FAQ

Why doesn't Sun anodize their aluminum bodies?	Reasons to anodize: To increase corrosion resistance. Sun uses 6061-T651 aluminum. It is one of the most corrosion resistant aluminum alloys there is. Whether or not anodizing improves the corrosion resistance of 6061 aluminum is debatable. We have yet to have a manifold returned because of corrosion. Appearance (color). The 2 colors that would appeal to Sun would be blue or black. Unfortunately these are the colors that are hardest to do consistently. To provide a hard wear surface. Sun does not make parts-in-body valves. The manifold is just plumbing. We don't need a wear surface. Because everyone else does it. Bad reason. Reasons to not anodize: Cost. It's another process. Logistics. When you make tens of thousands of manifolds a month and you anodize hundreds, it's a problem. Consistency. See above. Stamping. After a body is anodized you cannot do any more stamping without making a mess.Inspection. Have you ever tried to look for burrs in a black anodized body? It's the old blackboard factory at night scenario. Torque. You will experience an increase in breakaway torque when removing items from an anodized manifold. Fatigue life. This is the best reason to not anodize. Fatigue failure is a very complex phenomenon. What it takes to initiate a crack is difficult to predict. What it takes to propagate a crack is readily defined. Anodizing produces a very thin, very hard, and very brittle surface on aluminum. The first time you pressurize an anodized aluminum manifold you have initiated fatigue cracks. Whether or not the stress is enough to propagate the cracks is a matter of pressure and manifold geometry. Anodizing an aluminum manifold grossly reduces the fatigue life by anywhere from 20% to 50%.
Direct acting or pilot operated - what do I use?	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.
How big is a drop of hydraulic oil?	There are exactly 250 Sun drops in a cubic inch or 15 in a cc.
Why does Sun use 6061 aluminum?	6061-T651 is relatively strong, relatively inexpensive, difficult to machine, readily available in all shapes and sizes and very corrosion resistant. 2024 is stronger and machines beautifully, but is expensive and falls to pieces in a corrosive environment.

Notes:

Stack height value in technical data table includes seal retainer plate.
Important: Carefully consider the maximum system pressure. The pressure rating of the manifold is dependent on the manifold material, with the port type/size a secondary consideration. Manifolds constructed of aluminum are not rated for pressures higher than 3000 psi (210 bar), regardless of the port type/size specified.
