The Sun Hydraulics XQGFLANCN (XQGFLANCN) is a sophisticated valve assembly designed to efficiently manage the charging and unloading of an accumulator using a fixed displacement pump. This unit operates by unloading the pump once the system pressure reaches a predetermined set point, and re-engaging the pump when pressure drops to a specific level, as determined by the pilot valve's fixed percentage. The ventable relief feature serves dual functions: acting as a main stage for pump unloading and providing system overpressure relief. An additional circuit is integrated to soften the pump's unloading process, enhancing operational smoothness. This line-mounted assembly is constructed with three mounting holes threaded at .375-16 UNC 2B, each with a depth of .88 inches (22.4 mm), ensuring secure installation. The manifold body is crafted from 6061-T651 aluminum, chosen for its excellent corrosion resistance and strength-to-cost ratio, although it is not anodized to avoid issues such as increased breakaway torque and reduced fatigue life. Direct-acting valves are recommended for applications requiring overpressure prevention, while pilot-operated valves are suitable for pressure regulation. Sun Hydraulics' direct-acting valves offer rapid response, dirt tolerance, stability, and robustness; their pilot-operated counterparts provide moderate speed with easy adjustability and minimal pressure rise against flow curves. For applications needing smoother shifts due to additional volume requirements, an auxiliary port is available for attaching extra hose length. It\u2019s crucial to consider maximum system pressure when utilizing this manifold; aluminum constructions are limited to pressures not exceeding 3000 psi (210 bar), regardless of port type or size.

Description

This valve assembly is meant to charge an accumulator using a fixed displacement pump. When the pressure reaches the set point of the valve, the pump is unloaded. When the pressure drops to the value determined by the fixed percentage of the pilot valve, the pump is brought back on line to recharge the accumulator. The ventable relief serves a dual purpose as a main stage to unload the pump and as a system over-pressure relief. The assembly has an additional feature; a simple circuit that softens the unloading of the pump.

Show FAQ

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.
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.

Notes:

Some applications may require additional volume for a smoother shift. Should this become necessary, an auxillary port has been provided to attach a length of hose for additional volume.
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.
