The Sun Hydraulics A9K (Material Number: A9K) is a specialized manifold designed for use with solenoid-operated and electroproportional cartridges. This manifold features additional material around the cavity to accommodate coil clearance and the spotface required for Sun's weatherized coil, ensuring robust performance in various conditions. The body type is a line mount with a ninety-degree high-capacity port 3 that accepts both standard and weatherized coils, enhancing its versatility. It has an SAE 10 port size which makes it compatible with a wide range of hydraulic systems. The manifold includes 11 open cavities and utilizes the T11A cavity type, providing ample space for cartridge installation. The mounting hole diameter measures .34 inches (8.6 mm) and is designed to be through-mounted, with a total of 22 mounting holes available for secure installation. Constructed from 6061 aluminum, the manifold offers excellent corrosion resistance without the need for anodizing, maintaining durability even in challenging environments. This choice of material also contributes to cost-effectiveness while providing sufficient strength and ease of machining. Overall, the Sun Hydraulics A9K manifold is engineered to support efficient hydraulic system operations by offering reliable coil accommodation and robust construction tailored to meet demanding application requirements.

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%.
