Sun Hydraulics offers a broad variety of balanced and unbalanced logic switching cartridges that can be used for a variety of directional control applications. Logic modulating cartridges for pressure and flow control applications are also offered. Sun logic cartridges can be conveniently applied using many mounting options.
- Offer machine designers almost unlimited flexibility in logic circuit design
- Can be remotely piloted using other Sun pilot products
- Includes versions that accept a Sun pilot control directly into the hex end of the logic cartridge for integrated pilot control
- Includes sealed pilot versions to prevent leakage between pilot and work ports
Unbalanced Poppet, Pilot-to-Close Switching Element
- Maximum operating pressure = 5000 psi
- Area ratio: A3 to A1 = 1.8:1
- Area ratio: A3 to A2 = 2.25:1
- Control orifice diameter = LODA, LODB, LODD, LOFA, LOFB, LOFD: 0.021 in., LOHA, LOHB,
- LOHD: 0.031 in., LOJA, LOJB, LOJD: 0.035 in.
- Pilot volume for complete shift = LOD*: 0.04 in³/min., LOF*: 0.07 in³/min., LOH*: 0.25 in³/min., LOJ*: 0.42 in³/min.
- These valves are pressure responsive at all three ports, therefore it is essential to consider all aspects of system operation through a complete cycle. Pressure changes at any one port may cause a valve to switch from a closeld to an open position, or vice versa. All possible pressure changes in the complete circuit must be considered to assure a safe, functional system design.
