The Sun Hydraulics A6J (A6J) is a robust and versatile manifold specifically engineered for use with solenoid-operated and electroproportional cartridges. This manifold features additional material around the cavity to ensure sufficient coil clearance, accommodating both standard and weatherized coils, thanks to the necessary spotface design. It is designed as a line mount body type with no specific interface requirements, making it adaptable for various hydraulic system configurations. The A6J manifold supports common port 1 configurations and includes a total of 22 mounting holes with a diameter of 0.28 inches (7.1 mm), providing through-depth mounting capabilities for secure installation. The open cavities are designed with T13A cavity specifications, and it supports SAE 8 port sizes, ensuring compatibility with standard hydraulic connections. Constructed from 6061T651 aluminum, this manifold offers excellent corrosion resistance without requiring anodization, which helps maintain its structural integrity over time while avoiding additional costs associated with anodizing processes. The choice of material also ensures that the manifold remains relatively strong yet cost-effective, suitable for demanding environments where durability is paramount. Overall, the Sun Hydraulics A6J manifold delivers reliable performance in hydraulic systems requiring solenoid or electroproportional cartridge integration while offering easy installation and long-lasting resilience against environmental factors.

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%.
