Technical features
- Different pilot control port options are available. See Option Selection for details.
- All ports will accept 5000 psi (350 bar) including the pilot control port.
- Hardened spool and sleeve provide consistent operation, low spool leakage rates and superior wear characteristics.
- The minimum pilot pressure required to operate the valve is determined by the following formula: pilot pressure = 85 psi + pressure @ Port 1 times .023. This results in a pilot pressure range of 85 to 200 psi. In metric; pilot pressure = 6 bar + pressure @ Port 1 times 0,023. This results in a pilot pressure of 6 to 14 bar.
- 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.

Frequently asked questions
Is DBAHBCN the same as DBAH-BCN?
Yes. Sun Hydraulics writes this part number as DBAHBCN. It is the model DBAH followed by the configuration code; hyphens, slashes and spaces are only dividers, so DBAHBCN, DBAH-BCN, DBAH BCN all refer to the same product.
Do you supply DBAHBCN in the UAE, GCC and India?
Yes. MultiFlow supplies genuine Sun Hydraulics cartridges, including DBAHBCN, to customers in the UAE, the wider GCC and India. Use Add to Enquiry on this page for availability, lead time and a quotation.
Can I get the datasheet and CAD files?
Yes. The datasheet, technical reference sheets and CAD files (DXF, DWG, STP) are listed in the Downloads section of this page.
How big is a drop of hydraulic oil?
There are exactly 250 Sun drops in a cubic inch or 15 in a cc.
Direct acting or pilot operated - what do I use?
Direct-acting valves are used to prevent over pressure, and pilot-operated valves are used to regulate pressure. If you are unsure, use a direct-acting valve. Sun's direct acting valves are very fast, dirt tolerant, stable, and robust. Sun's pilot-operated valves are moderately fast, they have a low pressure rise vs. flow curve, and they are easy to adjust.
What parts of the Sun cartridge valve are field serviceable?
