The Sun Hydraulics ACB (Material Number: ACB) is a line mount hydraulic body designed for inline applications. It features a robust construction with 6061T651 aluminum, known for its strength, cost-effectiveness, and excellent corrosion resistance, making it suitable for various demanding environments. The body type is specifically designed for line mounting and does not require an interface. The ACB model is equipped with 11 mounting holes, each with a diameter of 0.28 inches (7.1 mm) that go through the entire body depth, ensuring secure installation and stability in hydraulic systems. It also includes 11 open cavities compatible with the T162A cavity type and features a port size of 38 NPTF. This product does not undergo anodizing due to several reasons including cost considerations, logistical challenges associated with high-volume production, and potential negative impacts on fatigue life. Anodizing can introduce fatigue cracks due to the brittle nature of the anodized surface which can significantly reduce the manifold's lifespan under pressure. The Sun Hydraulics ACB model is an ideal choice for applications requiring reliable hydraulic connections without the need for additional wear surfaces or aesthetic finishes provided by anodizing. Its design ensures ease of use in various hydraulic setups while maintaining structural integrity and longevity even in corrosive environments.

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%.
