The Sun Hydraulics BVU (BVU) is a line mount hydraulic body designed for versatile applications requiring inline configurations. This product features a body type tailored for line mounting with no additional interface requirements, ensuring seamless integration into existing systems. The BVU model includes body features that support inline operations and is equipped with two mounting holes each having a diameter of 0.34 inches (8.6 mm). These holes are designed to penetrate through the entire body, enhancing stability and ease of installation, with a total of two mounting holes available. The BVU model is constructed from 6061T651 aluminum, known for its exceptional corrosion resistance and strength, making it suitable for demanding environments. This material choice also allows the BVU to maintain longevity without the need for anodizing, which can affect fatigue life negatively by introducing brittle surfaces prone to crack initiation under pressure. The product supports port sizes of 3/8 BSPP, facilitating compatibility with various hydraulic systems. This hydraulic body accommodates one open cavity conforming to the T2A specification, offering flexibility in system design and expansion capabilities. The Sun Hydraulics BVU model is ideal for applications where robust performance and reliability are paramount, providing users with a durable solution that integrates smoothly into complex hydraulic circuits while minimizing maintenance concerns related to material degradation or mechanical failure.

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%.
