The Sun Hydraulics BLK (Material Number: BLK) is a line-mount hydraulic body designed for efficient fluid control in various hydraulic systems. Featuring a ninety-degree configuration with a high-capacity port 3 and an additional gauge port, this model is engineered to optimize flow management while maintaining system integrity. It supports 22 mounting holes with a diameter of 0.42 inches (10.7 mm), allowing for secure and versatile installation options. The mounting holes are through-type, providing robust attachment points for enhanced stability during operation. The BLK model accommodates 11 open cavities, specifically designed to fit the T2A cavity type, ensuring compatibility with a range of hydraulic components. The SAE 10 port size facilitates standard connections within hydraulic circuits, promoting seamless integration into existing systems without the need for extensive modifications. Crafted from high-quality 6061 aluminum, this body offers excellent corrosion resistance and structural strength, making it suitable for demanding environments where durability is crucial. The decision not to anodize the aluminum body further enhances its fatigue life by avoiding the initiation of fatigue cracks that anodizing might cause. Overall, the Sun Hydraulics BLK model provides reliable performance for various hydraulic applications by delivering robust construction, flexible installation options, and optimal flow management capabilities.

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%.
