SUN Direct acting pressure reducing valve 40 Lpm

Direct-acting, pressure reducing/relieving valves reduce a high primary pressure at the inlet (port 2) to a constant reduced pressure at port 1, with a full-flow relief function from port 1 to tank (port 3). These valves incorporate a damped construction for stable operation allowing the use of high reduced pressure.

• All three-port pressure reducing and reducing/relieving cartridges are physically interchangeable (i.e. same flow path, same cavity for a given frame size). When considering mounting configurations, it is sometimes recommended that a full capacity return line (port 3) be used with reducing/relieving cartridges.
• Full reverse flow from reduced pressure (port 1) to inlet (port 2) may cause the main spool to close. If reverse free flow is required in the circuit, consider adding a separate check valve to the circuit.
• All spring ranges are tested for correct operation with 350 Bar inlet pressure.
• Suitable for accumulator circuits since the absence of pilot control flow results in reduced secondary circuit leakage.
• Direct acting concept provides highly reliable operation in contaminated systems, especially at dead headed conditions.
• Unlike pilot operated versions, direct acting valves exhibit a transitional step between reducing and relieving modes. This step equals 5% of the high end of the adjustment range, independent of the valve setting. Therefore, these valves may not be suitable for counterbalancing applications.
• Direct operated version offers superior dynamic response compared to equivalent pilot operated models.
• Pressure at port 3 is directly additive to the valve setting at a 1:1 ratio and should not exceed 350 Bar.
• 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.
