WELDED CYLINDERS
NU SERIES

CROSS NU series cylinders offer precision industrial quality in a standard welded cylinder. The NU features a welded base with a head assembly which permits easy replacement of seals with special tools. O-ring and backup piston seals are standard. For heavy duty applications we offer the NU with a special polyurethane u-cup piston design. (Specify HEAVY DUTY when ordering.)
FEATURES: 2500 psi working pressure (3000 for HEAVY DUTY) Close tolerance tubes designed for long cylinder life Hardened chrome plated rods resist damage and rust Double lipped polyurethane rod seal for less leakage Rod wipers clean dirt from rod to give long seal life Clevis mounting with 1" pin holes on 2 1/2" thru 4" bore sizes, 1 1/4 on 5" bore Ports in line with pins 3/8" NPTF ports on 2" bore, 1/2" NPTF on 2 1/2" thru 4" bore, 3/4" NPTF on 5" bore size

* These cylinders are rated for 2500 psi service but the safe operating pressure is greatly reduced due to rod buckling considerations when cylinders are operated in the push mode. Please contact CROSS Engineering for recommendations.

SF SERIES

FILTERS

The CROSS SF series hydraulic filters feature spin-on, throw away type cartridges. SGF models also include the condition indicator. These units provice full flow efficiency up to the cracking pressure of the through-type bypass relief valve. Good filtration with regular element changes is essential to protect hydraulic components from damage due to contamination. Please see HYDRAULIC SAFETY SHEET (Page 18).

COMMON VALVE QUESTIONS & ANSWERS:

HOW DO I HOOK UP THE VALVE? Inlet and outlet are marked on the directional valves. For standard valves hook up diagrams are shown on the bottom of the box . A and B (C, D, E and F if applicable) ports go to the cylinder ports. For VS and SD series see the box or call CROSS. WHAT VALVE SHOULD I USE FOR LIFTING? For safety, a valve with a load check (Series AD/SA, BA or SS) is necessary in order that the load does not drop before it begins to raise again when you are shifting out of the neutral position. The load check is a spring loaded poppet which prevents the oil from backflowing until enough pressure is created to raise the load. WHAT VALVE DO I NEED FOR A LOADER? The most popular models are the SAF2 and SBAF2 which have a float position on the first spool allowing the oil to circulate to permit the bucket to ride the contours of the ground. The second spool is for a two way cylinder and is spring centered to neutral. Others are the SA22 and SBA22 which are spring centered to neutral on both spools but feature no float. SS valves may also be used for loaders. I HAVE A JOHN DEERE. (or any other closed center system). CAN I USE A STANDARD VALVE? All SA and SBA valves are convertible to closed center by installing a closed center plug and no relief plug as shown in literature shipped with the valve. Valves may also be ordered already converted to closed center. These valves feature a tighter spool to mimimize creeping. HOW DO I HOOK UP SEVERAL VALVES IN SERIES? Replace the conversion plug on the outlet side of the SA or SBA valve with a power beyond sleeve. Connect this line to the inlet of the second valve. Run a tank line from the outlet of the first valve (has priority) back to the reservoir. HOW DO I CHANGE THE RELIEF OR BYPASS SETTING ON A VALVE? Always use a pressure gauge in the inlet to assure precise results. An SBA valve may be adjusted by turning the adjustment screw under the acorn nut on the handle end of the valve. Clockwise will increase pressure. The CONVERTA or CA relief is shim adjustable. The spring in older CONVERTA and CA valves is rated to 1750. To increase the pressure to 2000 a different spring (#1A0685) plus shims (1A0682) are necessary. Do not exceed the recommended psi for the valve. WHAT IS THE #1V0294 DETENT KIT? This manual detent fits the SBA or CONVERTA. The valve handle (and spool) stays wherever it is placed until moved by the operator. CAN I PUT A FLOAT OPTION ON A STANDARD VALVE? No, the end of the spool as well as the lands are different so a standard valve will not accept a float detent. Spools are matched to the individual valve bodies so changing a valve spool in the field is not feasible. CAN I PUT A PRESSURE KICKOUT ON A STANDARD VALVE? Pressure kickout or automatic return to neutral requires a special internal machining which must be done at the factory when the valve is manufactured. (It is a standard feature on the SCD2E - logsplitter valve.) CAN I USE A STANDARD VALVE FOR A SINGLE ACTING CYLINDER? No. A standard double acting (sometimes called 4-way) has no place for the pump oil to go as you are exhausting or lowering the cylinder. Consequently, the oil goes over the relief and overheats the system. Valves with spools for single acting applications may be special ordered from the factory. The CONVERTA is convertible to single acting. HOW DO I IDENTIFY A VALVE? The CROSS computer stock number is stamped on the handle end of the valve body on all valves manufactured since 1989. On older valves the "Z" casting number is on the back side of the valve. HOW DO I INSTALL PIPE FITTINGS? Never use teflon tape...a pipe port is a tapered thread and it is very easy to crack a casting if teflon tape is used. Use of liquid pipe sealant is the only approved installation method. Torque values are as follows: 1/2" NPTF - 32 to 40 ft. lbs.; 3/4" NPTF - 40 to 48 ft. lbs. 17

HYDRAULIC PRODUCT SAFETY

WARNING : Valve lever (spool) may "stick" (not center) under certain conditions allowing the hydraulic equipment to continue to operate and could cause serious injury, death or equipment failure.

VALVE SAFETY: Read and follow instructions carefully. Failure to observe instructions and guidelines may cause serious injury, death or equipment failure. A sticking valve (spool bind) may be caused by one or more of the following factors:
DIRTY OIL: Oil must be filtered to a minimum of 25 microns. Filters should be changed regularly - spin-on types after 50 hours of initial use and then after every two hundred fifty hours of use. Use of a condition indicator is recommended. Consult your tractor or implement owner's manual for filtration and changing recommendations for internal systems. OIL REQUIREMENTS: Premium quality anti-wear type oil with a viscosity between 100 and 200 SSU at operating temperatures. Certain synthetic oils may cause spool seals to swell and the valve to stick. If in doubt, call CROSS Engineering. IMPROPER HOOK UP OR MOUNTING: Always use the proper size fittings. Hook up "in" & "out" as noted on the valve body. Do not overtorque pipe fittings. (Use liquid pipe sealant only cracked ports are not covered under warranty.) Mounting surfaces should be flat and care should be used when tightening mounting bolts. Over-tightened bolts can cause spool bind and casting breakage. When hooking a valve in series, always use a power beyond sleeve. Consult your tractor or implement manual to make sure you have the proper quick disconnect line connected to the inlet of the remote valve. MISAPPLICATION: Always use the proper valve for the job. CONVERTA, CD, CS or CA valves should never be used for metered heavy load lifting - loaders or similar applications. Use an open center valve for open center applications and a closed center valve for closed applications. If in doubt, check with your tractor dealer. Contact CROSS if the valve allows the hydraulic equipment to creep excessively. MAINTENANCE: Make sure all bolts are tightened and torqued to the recommended specification. Bent or broken parts should not be used. Replace immediately. Always use exact replacements.Always protect valve spool from paint overspray. Faulty quick disconnects can cause high back pressures and sticking spools. Check quick disconnects periodically to make sure they are functioning properly. If valve spool does not center or appears to stick, do not use!

PUMPS & MOTORS SAFETY:

A relief or bypass in your hydraulic system is necessary to prevent pump from breakage due to overpressurization. Use correct fittings and proper oil as noted in the technical service manual packed with each unit. Change oil as recommended by your implement or tractor manufacturer.

CYLINDER SAFETY:

Check clevis clearances before, during and after extending the cylinder and before using the cylinder under pressure to avoid possible injury, or bent or broken rods caused by binding. (Bent or broken rods are not covered under warranty.) Never operate a cylinder above recommended pressures. Never use a cylinder as a safety device when transporting equipment.

PINHOLE LEAKS:

If you observe a pinhole leak, discontinue use of the component. If oil has penetrated your skin or contacted your eye, seek medical attention immediately! 18

CLOSED CENTER CONVERSION

OPEN CENTER PASSAGE CONVERTS TO CLOSED CENTER RETURN PASSAGE

CLOSED CENTER PLUG

END OUTLET

This option provides for conversion from open center to closed center by blocking the open center flow passage with the closed center plug as shown. It may be used in any standard CROSS SA or BA valve featuring the conversion plug/power beyond machining in the BYD port. The valve may also be ordered already converted to closed center. (See table) These valves have less clearance between the spool and body so leakage between the spool and valve body which may result in creeping of the cylinder is minimized.

To convert an open center valve, remove the short conversion plug SA2 1V2572 1R0035 and replace it with the closed cenSA22 ter plug as shown. The relief on SAF2 the handle end of the valve must be SBA2, SBA2-ORB 1V0206 1R0035 SBA2-CC, SBA2-CC - ORB replaced with a no relief plug. ((See SBA22, SBA22-ORB CONTAINED IN 1V2015 KIT SBA22-CC, SBA22-CC - ORB table for part numbers.) Failure to SBA222, SBA222-ORB SBA222-CC, SBA222-CC - ORB replace the relief will result in SBAF2, SBAF2-ORB SBAF2-CC, SBAF2-CC - ORB chattering caused by the constant SBAF22, SBAF222-ORB SBAF22-CC, SBAF22-CC - ORB bypass of oil and will build excessive heat in the system. An outlet must be plumbed to the tank to dump the oil from the return passage.
OPEN CENTER VALVE CLOSED CENTER PLUG NO RELIEF PLUG CLOSED CENTER VALVE

Any restriction in the tank line of a closed center system caused by faulty quick couplers, a collapsed hose, etc. will damage the spool seals, washers and handle bracket (BA only) resulting in external leakage around the spool. Reversing the tractor valve so that the outlet rather than the inlet is pressurized would have the same effect. These possible problems must be remedied within the system. In a closed center system, the neutral pressure sometimes causes leakage between the pressure core and the work ports enabling the cylinders to drift or creep. (Reworking the valve at the factory to a class 1A spool fit will minimize this problem. Valves with class 1A spool fit may be special ordered from

Valves manufactured as closed center do not contain a relief and should never be installed in an open center system or converted to open center due to the possibility of personal injury or system damage!
