The Sun Hydraulics DMDADAN236 (DMDADAN236) is a high-performance, solenoid-operated 3-way, 2-position cartridge valve designed for robust hydraulic system applications. This direct-acting, balanced spool directional valve is particularly noted for its fatigue rating at 5000 psi (350 bar), making it suitable for high-pressure operations. The valve features a closed transition between Spools B and R, optimizing performance by providing faster and more consistent response times especially when used as pilot controls. The DMDADAN236 requires no minimum hydraulic pressure to operate and incorporates a wet armature design, where the working fluid surrounds the armature. This design consideration is crucial for applications where the valve may be continuously energized, as it helps manage the heat generated by the coil. However, it's important to note that some fluids like water-glycol mixtures might degrade at high temperatures, potentially affecting valve performance. Interchangeability of coils with other Sun Series 1 solenoid products adds versatility to this model, allowing for easy maintenance and replacement. The manual override feature included in models with the D or L control is designed for temporary actuation with a mechanical life expectancy of approximately 7,000 cycles. For environments using phosphate ester fluids, cartridges configured with EPDM seals are recommended to avoid damage from petroleum-based substances. Additionally, this model benefits from Sun\u2019s floating style construction which minimizes internal parts binding due to installation variances. With a flow capacity of up to 12 gpm (45 L/min) and quick response times typically around 50 ms, the DMDADAN236 is an effective solution for dynamic hydraulic systems requiring reliable directional control.
