Product Overview
The Sun Hydraulics DTBF-XCN is a solenoid-operated, 2-position, 3-way directional poppet valve designed for demanding industrial hydraulic circuits requiring leak-free load holding and reliable directional control. Manufactured by Sun Hydraulics, a global leader in high-performance cartridge valve technology, this valve utilizes a direct-acting solenoid to shift a hardened poppet against a precision-machined seat, ensuring virtually zero internal leakage in the closed position. Unlike spool-type directional valves, the poppet design provides positive sealing, making the DTBF-XCN ideal for applications where load drift or pressure decay cannot be tolerated. The valve is configured for standard industrial hydraulic manifolds and is compatible with mineral-based hydraulic fluids within specified viscosity ranges.
