The Sun Hydraulics CGB (Material Number: CGB) is a line mount hydraulic manifold designed for versatile applications in fluid control systems. Featuring an inline body type, this manifold does not have an interface, making it suitable for various custom configurations. It has a mounting hole diameter of 0.41 inches (10.4 mm) and includes eleven through holes, allowing for secure and flexible installation. The CGB model is built with one open cavity of the T3A type and accommodates port sizes of 3/8 NPTF, ensuring compatibility with a range of hydraulic components. Manufactured from 6061T651 aluminum, the CGB offers excellent corrosion resistance without the need for anodizing, which can compromise fatigue life and increase manufacturing complexity. This choice of material balances strength and machinability while maintaining cost-effectiveness and availability in different shapes and sizes. The absence of anodizing also avoids issues related to torque during assembly or disassembly and ensures easier inspection for potential burrs. The Sun Hydraulics CGB manifold is ideal for applications requiring robust fluid control solutions where reliability and ease of maintenance are critical. Its design allows for efficient integration into existing systems or new installations, providing a durable solution that withstands challenging environmental conditions without sacrificing performance or longevity.

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%.
