The Sun Hydraulics DMDALAN236 (DMDALAN236) is a high-performance, solenoid-operated 3-way, 2-position cartridge valve designed for precise control in hydraulic systems. This direct-acting, balanced spool directional valve is notable for its robust construction and the ability to operate without minimum hydraulic pressure. It features a solenoid tube assembly that is fatigue rated for 5000 psi (350 bar), ensuring durability and reliability under high-pressure conditions. The DMDALAN236 valve offers distinct operational advantages such as closed transitions between spool positions B and R, which enhance performance by providing faster and more consistent response times. This makes it particularly effective when used as pilot controls where capacity is less critical. Additionally, the valve incorporates Sun\u2019s floating style construction which minimizes internal parts binding \u2014 a common issue caused by excessive installation torque or variations in cavity/cartridge machining. This model also supports interchangeable coils with other Sun Series 1 solenoid products, adding versatility to its use in various configurations. The wet armature design of the valve means that the working fluid surrounds the armature, which is beneficial for heat dissipation but requires consideration of fluid compatibility especially with long energizing periods. For systems using phosphate ester fluids, cartridges configured with EPDM seals are recommended to avoid damage from exposure to petroleum-based fluids. The manual override feature equipped with D or L control provides temporary actuation with a mechanical life expectancy of approximately 7,000 cycles. With a maximum operating pressure of 5000 psi and a flow capacity of up to 12 gpm (45 L/min), the DMDALAN236 is well-suited for various industrial applications requiring precise fluid control and rapid response times.
