The Sun Hydraulics DMDADRV712N (DMDADRV712N) is a high-performance solenoid-operated 3-way, 2-position cartridge valve specifically designed for robust and efficient hydraulic system operations. This direct-acting, balanced spool directional valve features a fatigue rating for 5000 psi (350 bar) service, making it suitable for high-pressure applications. The unique construction of the valve ensures closed transitions between Spools B and R, enhancing performance by providing faster and more consistent response times especially in pilot control applications where capacity is less critical. Engineered with a wet armature design, the DMDADRV712N allows the working fluid to surround the armature, which is particularly useful in systems that may experience prolonged coil energization. However, users should note that certain fluids like water-glycol mixtures may degrade under sustained high temperatures. The valve supports a maximum flow rate of 12 gpm (45 L/min) and incorporates interchangeable coils compatible with other Sun Series 1 solenoid products. These coils can be mounted in either direction on the tube for flexibility in installation. Additionally, this model employs Sun\u2019s floating style construction which minimizes internal parts binding due to excessive installation torque or cavity/cartridge machining variations. The manual override feature of this model requires minimal force and is designed primarily for temporary actuation with a mechanical life expectancy of approximately 7,000 cycles. Users should also be aware that cartridges configured with EPDM seals are intended for use with phosphate ester fluids only as exposure to petroleum-based fluids will damage the seals. For ease of maintenance and replacement, the DMDADRV712N offers a straightforward approach with its common cavity type T11A and standard Viton seal kits available for both cartridge and coil components. This precision-engineered valve is an essential component for systems requiring reliable directional control in a compact form factor.
