The Sun Hydraulics C3T (Material Number: C3T) is a versatile manifold specifically designed for use with solenoid-operated and electroproportional cartridges. It features a robust construction with additional material around the cavity, providing necessary coil clearance and accommodating Sun's weatherized coil. The manifold is a line mount type with no specific interface, and it supports ninety-degree body features that accept both standard and weatherized coils. It includes 22 mounting holes, each with a diameter of 0.34 inches (8.6 mm) and through depth, ensuring secure installation. The manifold has 11 open cavities designed to fit T11A type cartridges, with port sizes of 14 BSPP for efficient fluid management. The design of the C3T manifold incorporates practical considerations such as the use of 6061T651 aluminum, known for its strength, cost-effectiveness, machinability, availability in various shapes and sizes, and superior corrosion resistance. This choice of material negates the need for anodizing, which can introduce issues such as increased cost, logistical challenges in production consistency, difficulty in inspection due to color changes, increased breakaway torque during maintenance, and reduced fatigue life due to potential crack propagation under pressure. Overall, the Sun Hydraulics C3T manifold offers reliable performance in hydraulic systems requiring robust support for solenoid-operated components while optimizing for longevity and ease of maintenance without additional surface treatments like anodizing.
