The Sun Hydraulics CAA (Material Number: CAA) is a line mount hydraulic manifold body designed for versatile applications. Featuring a ninety-degree body type, it offers a robust interface with no additional features, making it suitable for various hydraulic systems. The manifold is equipped with eleven mounting holes, each with a diameter of 0.42 inches (10.7 mm), and allows for through-hole mounting to ensure secure and stable installation. Additionally, the manifold accommodates eleven open cavities compatible with the T3A cavity specification, providing ample space for customization and expansion of hydraulic circuits. Constructed from 6061T651 aluminum, this manifold boasts excellent corrosion resistance and durability, making it ideal for demanding environments. The choice of 6061 aluminum ensures that while the material is relatively strong and inexpensive, it remains difficult to machine yet readily available in various shapes and sizes. This material choice underscores the product's capability to withstand harsh conditions without succumbing to corrosion-related failures. The port size of this manifold is specified as 14 NPTF, which facilitates easy integration into existing hydraulic systems that utilize National Pipe Taper Fuel threads. This compatibility allows for straightforward connection with other components in a hydraulic circuit. While the Sun Hydraulics CAA does not undergo anodization processes due to several logistical reasons\u2014including cost considerations and potential impacts on fatigue life\u2014the inherent properties of the aluminum used provide sufficient protection against environmental factors typically encountered in industrial applications. Consequently, this product serves as a reliable component in complex hydraulic systems where performance and longevity are critical considerations.

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%.
