FLeX Series
z Incorporates the Sun oating-style construction to minimize the possibility of internal parts binding due to
excessive installation torque and/or cavity/cartridge machining variations.
z FLeX Series proportional valves are fully compatible with the XMD Expandable Mobile Drivers from Sun.
z Designed and tested to exceed 10 million on-o operational cycles at full rated pressure.
z Exceeds the new NFPA test standard T2.6.1 R2014 for fatigue and burst pressure ratings.
z Both priority and bypass ow are usable up to the system operating pressure.
z Priority ow remains relatively constant regardless of variation in input ow.
z Bypass ow is not available until priority ow requirements are satised.
z Pressure at the bypass port (port 2) may exceed pressure at the priority port (port 3).
z In applications where the priority ow will be completely blocked, bypass pressure drop will increase over time
unless a leak path is provided for the priority ow.
z Designed using CFD uid simulation for optimized geometries.
z For optimum performance, use an amplier with current feedback and adjustable dither (80 - 250 Hz).
z Zinc-nickel plating standard for 1000-hour salt fog protection.
z Can be used with the 740 Series high-power and 747 Series hazardous location coils.
z A wide variety of coil termination and voltage options are available, with and without surge protection. See the
CONFIGURATION section.
z Coil connector options oer ratings up to IP69K. See individual coil product pages for details.

TECHNICAL FEATURES
SERIES 3, CAVITY: T-17A
This valve is a normally closed, electro-proportional, bypass/
restrictive, priority ow control valve. The valve takes an input
ow at port 1 and uses it to satisfy the priority ow at port 3.
If the input ow exceeds the priority requirement, the excess
is bypassed out port 2.
FREP-X**
Function: When de-energized, the throttle spool (1) creates
a blocked ow path from port 1 to port 3. The compensator
spool (2) creates a blocked ow path from port 1 to port
2. When energized, the throttle spool (1) creates an
open unidirectional ow path from port 1 to port 3. The
compensator spool (2) creates an open unidirectional ow
path from port 1 to port 2 while restricting ow from port 1
to port 3.
The valve pressure compensates the priority ow for precise
ow regulation in applications where there may be wide
pressure uctuations. Port 2 may also be completely blocked
so that the valve can be used as a 2-way electro-proportional
pressure compensated ow control from 1 to 3.
