The Sun Hydraulics A5J (Material Number: A5J) is a versatile manifold designed for use with solenoid operated and electroproportional cartridges. This line mount body type features a common port 2 with coil clearance, ensuring compatibility and ease of installation for various hydraulic applications. The manifold is equipped with 22 open cavities and utilizes the T13A cavity design, providing flexibility in system configurations. It supports an SAE 8 port size, which is a standard size for hydraulic connections, allowing seamless integration into existing systems. The body is constructed from 6061T651 aluminum, known for its strength, cost-effectiveness, machinability, availability in diverse shapes and sizes, and excellent corrosion resistance. This material choice negates the need for anodizing, as it already offers substantial protection against corrosion without compromising the manifold's structural integrity or fatigue life. The mounting hole diameter measures .28 inches (7.1 mm) and features through-depth holes to accommodate secure attachment with a total of 22 mounting holes available. This manifold provides additional material around the cavity specifically to allow coil clearance, enhancing its functionality in complex hydraulic systems where space optimization is crucial.

Show FAQ

How big is a drop of hydraulic oil?	There are exactly 250 Sun drops in a cubic inch or 15 in a cc.
Why does Sun use 6061 aluminum?	6061-T651 is relatively strong, relatively inexpensive, difficult to machine, readily available in all shapes and sizes and very corrosion resistant. 2024 is stronger and machines beautifully, but is expensive and falls to pieces in a corrosive environment.
Why doesn't Sun anodize their aluminum bodies?	Reasons to anodize: To increase corrosion resistance. Sun uses 6061-T651 aluminum. It is one of the most corrosion resistant aluminum alloys there is. Whether or not anodizing improves the corrosion resistance of 6061 aluminum is debatable. We have yet to have a manifold returned because of corrosion. Appearance (color). The 2 colors that would appeal to Sun would be blue or black. Unfortunately these are the colors that are hardest to do consistently. To provide a hard wear surface. Sun does not make parts-in-body valves. The manifold is just plumbing. We don't need a wear surface. Because everyone else does it. Bad reason. Reasons to not anodize: Cost. It's another process. Logistics. When you make tens of thousands of manifolds a month and you anodize hundreds, it's a problem. Consistency. See above. Stamping. After a body is anodized you cannot do any more stamping without making a mess.Inspection. Have you ever tried to look for burrs in a black anodized body? It's the old blackboard factory at night scenario. Torque. You will experience an increase in breakaway torque when removing items from an anodized manifold. Fatigue life. This is the best reason to not anodize. Fatigue failure is a very complex phenomenon. What it takes to initiate a crack is difficult to predict. What it takes to propagate a crack is readily defined. Anodizing produces a very thin, very hard, and very brittle surface on aluminum. The first time you pressurize an anodized aluminum manifold you have initiated fatigue cracks. Whether or not the stress is enough to propagate the cracks is a matter of pressure and manifold geometry. Anodizing an aluminum manifold grossly reduces the fatigue life by anywhere from 20% to 50%.
