The Sun Hydraulics DMDALAN612 (DMDALAN612) is a solenoid-operated 3-way, 2-position cartridge valve designed for high-performance hydraulic systems. This direct-acting, balanced spool directional valve is engineered to operate efficiently with a maximum operating pressure of 5000 psi (350 bar) and a flow capacity of 12 gpm (45 L/min). The valve features closed transitions between its two positions, Spools B and R, which enhances performance by providing faster and more consistent response times, particularly suitable for pilot control applications where capacity is less critical. This model is equipped with a wet armature design allowing the working fluid to surround the armature, which could be significant in applications where the coil remains energized for extended periods. The potential heat generated by the coil necessitates consideration of the fluid\u2019s thermal stability to prevent breakdown and varnish formation that could impair operation. The DMDALAN612 incorporates interchangeable coils compatible with other Sun Series 1 solenoid products and can be mounted in either direction on the tube. It also includes Sun\u2019s floating style construction designed to minimize internal parts binding due to excessive installation torque or machining variations in cavity-cartridge setups. Additional features include a manual override mechanism intended for temporary actuation with a mechanical life expectancy of approximately 7,000 cycles. For systems using phosphate ester fluids, cartridges configured with EPDM seals are recommended; however, exposure to petroleum-based fluids should be avoided as it damages the seals. The model's robust design ensures reliable operation across various hydraulic applications requiring precise control and rapid response times.
