Logic Elements
Sun Hydraulics | Logic Elements
Sun Hydraulics screw-in logic element cartridge valves boast superior efficiency when compared to the slip-in cartridge style used by most competitors. Smooth and accurate modulation gives your design elegance yet precise functionality. High flow capacities can reach up to 1 100 ℓ / min.
We supply two types of logic elements:
Modulating valves: acting as main stages for relief or pressure reducing functions. When used in conjunction with fixed or variable flow control or a proportional directional valve, they can act as restrictive or bypass type pressure compensators.
Switching valves: provide directional control functions. By using these switching valves, Sun Hydraulics offers reduced system size, fast response, very low leakage, contamination tolerance and flexible control.
Logic elements have three typical functions: open modulating, closed modulating and pilot-to-close switching elements. Sun Hydraulics also offers pilot-to-open switching elements for specialised applications.
These poppet-type or seated valves will close and seal positively to both directions of flow in the absence of any pilot signal, allowing true blocked port logic valve circuitry. This range of switching elements is available in unbalanced and balanced designs, to enhance circuit design flexibility.
Axiom Hydraulics is the exclusive supplier of Sun Hydraulics’ full range of logic elements valves to all applications in southern Africa.
Sun Hydraulics cartridge valves are CE / TÜV certified in accordance with the Pressure Equipment Directive 2014/68/EU (PED)
