Technical specifications

This FLeX Series solenoid-operated 3-way, 2-position cartridge is a direct-acting, balanced spool directional valve.

  • This valve is direct actuated and requires no minimum hydraulic pressure for operation.
  • Designed and tested to 10-million operational cycles at full-rated pressure.
  • Exceeds new NFPA test standard T2.6.1 R2014 for fatigue and burst pressure ratings.
  • Designed using CFD simulation for optimized geometries.
  • All configurations of this valve include zinc-nickel plating as standard for 1000-hour salt fog protection.
  • Coil connector options offer ratings up to IP69K. See individual coil product pages for details.
  • A FULL DATA SHEET is available for this model using the link at the top of the page.
  • This valve utilizes a wet armature design. This means that the working fluid surrounds the armature and is exposed to the heat generated by the coil. This can be a factor if the coil is energized for long periods of time. Some fluids, notably water/glycol mixtures, break down at these temperatures over time and form varnishes that will affect the function of the cartridge.
  • A wide variety of coil termination and voltage options are available, with and without surge protection. See the CONFIGURATION section.
  • 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.

  • What parts of the Sun cartridge valve are field serviceable?
  • What is the difference between nominal and maximum flow capacity?
  • Do FLeX valves utilize a floating nose design?
  • Is the FLeX program available in QuickDesign SmartConnect?
  • How big is a drop of hydraulic oil?  
  • Direct acting or pilot operated - what do I use?
  • Please verify cartridge clearance requirements when choosing a Sun manifold. Different valve controls and coils require different clearances.
  • An additional 2.00 inches (50,8 mm) beyond the valve extension is needed for coil installation and removal.
