Sun Hydraulics introduces the first of its new line of electro-proportional cartridge valves. This initial offering comprises both direct-acting and pilot-operated versions. The direct-acting models consist of proportional flow controls, pressure reducing/relieving cartridges, and a pilot stage relief. The pilot stage relief also provides the foundation for the pilot-operated proportional product line.
Significant advantages to this line of proportional products include:
* An extensive array of proportionally controlled functions available in 2 port, 3 port and 4 port varieties.
* Flow capacities ranging from as low as 0,1 gpm (0,4 L/min) up to as high as 200 gpm (760 L/min).
* Operating pressures up to 34,5 MPa.
* The floating style construction to eliminate the effects of internal parts binding due to excessive installation torque and/or cavity/cartridge machining variations.
* Functional interchangeability with non-electro-proportional products by the company.
* Physical interchangeability with the company's non-electro-proportional products of same function and frame size, ie, same cavity and manifolds.
* Same coil as solenoid-operated, full-flow switching cartridges manufactured by the company.
