Alternative to SUN Brand Cartridge Valves CBAG LKN
SUN CBAG-LKN Standard Counterbalance Valve
CBAG-LKN is a 3-port non-leak pilot operated counterbalance valve produced by SUN Hydraulics. It is designed to avoid load runaway and over-speed movement, also known as load holding valve or back pressure valve.
1. Basic Parameters
- Function: 3-port, external drain free, pilot assisted counterbalance valve
- Cavity size: T-17A
- Rated flow: 60 gpm / 240 L/min
- Pilot ratio: 2.3:1 standard version
- Max working pressure: 5000 psi / 345 bar; Recommended working pressure: 3850 psi / 270 bar
- Pressure adjustment range: 70–175 bar (1000–2500 psi); Factory default setting: 140 bar
- Check valve cracking pressure: 1.7 bar (25 psi)
- Seal material: NBR, compatible with mineral hydraulic oil
- Installation torque: 41–47 Nm (30–35 lbf·ft)
- Weight: Approx. 0.23 kg
2. Working Principle
- Downward load movement: Pilot pressure at port 3 reduces cracking pressure of main valve, releasing load steadily and preventing overspeed runaway.
- Upward load lifting: Free flow passes through check valve from port 2 to port 1 with low pressure drop.
- Sealing feature: Back pressure at port 2 superimposes on preset pressure, external leakage free design.
3. Model Code Definition
- CBAG: 3-port non-leak counterbalance valve with 2.3:1 pilot ratio, standard flow capacity
- L: Long style, fits T-17A cavity
- KN: NBR seal, standard factory pressure setting
