The Sun Hydraulics C8C (Material Number: C8C) is a versatile manifold specifically designed for use with solenoid-operated and electroproportional cartridges. It features additional material around the cavity to ensure adequate coil clearance and includes a spotface necessary for Sun's weatherized coil. This line-mount body type has no interface and accepts both standard and weatherized coils at a ninety-degree angle, providing flexibility in various applications. It is equipped with 22 mounting holes, each with a diameter of 0.34 inches (8.6 mm) and drilled through for secure installation. The manifold has 11 open cavities configured in the T31A cavity style, allowing it to accommodate different hydraulic setups. The port size of this manifold is 12 NPTF, facilitating robust connections in hydraulic systems. Constructed from 6061T651 aluminum, the manifold offers excellent corrosion resistance without the need for anodizing, which could otherwise increase cost and complexity while potentially reducing fatigue life due to stress cracking. This makes it an ideal choice for environments where corrosion resistance is crucial but where anodizing drawbacks are best avoided. Overall, the Sun Hydraulics C8C manifold provides reliable performance and adaptability in hydraulic systems requiring solenoid or electroproportional control elements, ensuring durability and ease of use across various applications.

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%.
