***Disclaimer: The following summary contains information gathered from various sources such as product descriptions, technical specifications and catalogs. While efforts have been made to provide accurate details, inaccuracies may occur. It is advised to verify all information by contacting Sun Hydraulics directly.***
The Sun Hydraulics FXEALAN (FXEALAN) is a fixed orifice, pressure-compensated flow control valve designed for precise flow regulation in meter-in or meter-out applications. This product is ideal for scenarios where there are significant pressure fluctuations. The flow setting is determined by the user and preset at the factory, with factory-set flow ratings accurate to within 10% of the requested setting. The sharp-edged orifice design minimizes variations in flow due to changes in viscosity. Additionally, it features a tunable control option that allows for a 25% variation from the nominal factory preset flow, adjustable via a clockwise turn to increase flow. The FXEALAN model incorporates a two-port design that is physically and functionally interchangeable with other cartridges of the same frame size, although extension dimensions from the mounting surface may vary. It is intended for use in corrosive environments, available with external stainless steel components or zinc-nickel plating for enhanced corrosion resistance. The valve utilizes Sun's floating style construction to prevent internal binding caused by excessive installation torque or machining variations. Key specifications include a cavity size of T-16A and series 3 designation, with a capacity of 25 gpm (95 L/min) and maximum operating pressure of 5000 psi (350 bar). The valve hex size measures 1-1/4 inches (31.8 mm), with an installation torque requirement of 150-160 lbf ft (203-217 Nm). For adjustments, it features an internal hex size of 5/32 inches (4 mm) and locknut hex size of 9/16 inches (15 mm), requiring locknut torque between 80-90 lbf in (9-10 Nm). The model weighs approximately 1.40 lb (0.65 kg) and includes a Viton seal kit under part number 990016006.

Fixed-orifice, pressure-compensated flow controls provide precise flow regulation for meter-in or meter-out applications where there may be wide pressure fluctuations. The flow setting is specified by the user and is set at the factory.

  • Customer must specify a flow rating. Factory set flow ratings are within +/- 10% of the requested setting.
  • The sharp-edged orifice design minimizes flow variations due to viscosity changes.
  • The tuneable control option provides +/- 25% variation from the nominal factory pre-set flow. Turn the adjustment clockwise to increase.
  • All 2-port flow control cartridges are physically and functionally interchangeable (i.e. same flow path, same cavity for a given frame size). However, cartridge extension dimensions from the mounting surface may vary.
  • Corrosion resistant cartridge valves are intended for use in corrosive environments and are identified by the model code suffix /AP for external stainless steel components, or /LH for external zinc-nickel plated components. See the CONFIGURATION section for all options. For further details, please see the Materials of Construction page located under TECH RESOURCES.
  • 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.
