The Sun Hydraulics C8U (Material Number: C8U) is a line mount manifold specifically engineered to accommodate solenoid-operated and electroproportional cartridges. This manifold is crafted with additional material around the cavity to ensure coil clearance and includes the necessary spotface for Sun's weatherized coil. It features a ninety-degree body design, making it compatible with both standard and weatherized coils. The manifold has an interface that requires no additional components and includes two mounting holes with a diameter of 0.34 inches (8.6 mm) that extend through the body, ensuring secure installation. There are 11 open cavities within the manifold, each conforming to the T31A cavity specification. Additionally, it supports a port size of 38 BSPP. Manufactured from 6061T651 aluminum, this material choice provides a balance of strength, cost-effectiveness, machinability, availability in various forms, and exceptional corrosion resistance without requiring anodization. The absence of anodization ensures lower production costs while maintaining structural integrity by avoiding issues like increased breakaway torque or reduced fatigue life often associated with anodizing processes. This manifold is ideal for applications requiring reliable hydraulic control solutions where exposure to environmental elements might be a concern due to its compatibility with weatherized coils. Its robust design and material selection make it suitable for demanding operational conditions while offering ease of installation and maintenance due to its straightforward interface and mounting configuration.
