This performance is comparable to DIN 25 and DIN 32 valves and is 50% to 80% more efficient than a standard Sun Series 4 equivalent functional cartridge and cavity. Sun’s Series 4 PLUS cartridge valves feature the same high pressure performance as Sun’s standard valves: 35 mPa on all ports. Check valves and logic elements are both currently available at PLUS performance with more functions to come.
For optimised efficiency and performance, the Series 4 PLUS should be paired with the new, optimised T-18AU and T-19AU cavities. The new cavities include an undercut in the port two area. Since Series 4 PLUS valves are the same size as standard Series 4 valves, both Series 4 and 4 PLUS cartridges are physically interchangeable in both standard and optimised cavities. To obtain full benefits of Series 4 PLUS products, the cartridge and cavity must both be of Series 4 PLUS configuration. To improve existing Series 4 flow performance, standard valves can be installed in optimised cavities. PLUS valves in optimised cavities will deliver maximum flow performance.
Series 4 PLUS valves come with all of Sun’s hallmark attributes: availability, reliability and superior performance. Local customer service, technical support and inventory are available through Axiom Hydraulics.

Pneumatic systems & components
Little consideration is generally given to two-port valves because they are often perceived as simple devices that only open and close to control downstream fluid supply. Although this is mechanically true, choosing the optimal two-port valve for your application can make a big difference, saving space, weight and energy consumption.
