The Sun Hydraulics DMDALAN612N (DMDALAN612N) is a high-performance, solenoid-operated 3-way, 2-position cartridge valve designed for efficient control and regulation of hydraulic fluids in various applications. This direct-acting, balanced spool directional valve is notable for its robust construction and the ability to operate without minimum hydraulic pressure. The DMDALAN612N features a fatigue-rated solenoid tube assembly capable of handling pressures up to 5000 psi (350 bar), making it suitable for demanding applications. The valve's design includes closed transitions between spool positions B and R, enhancing performance by ensuring faster and more consistent response times, particularly beneficial when used as pilot controls. The manual override feature on models equipped with D or L control uses a detent mechanism designed for temporary actuation with a mechanical life expectancy of approximately 7,000 cycles. For environments utilizing phosphate ester fluids, cartridges configured with EPDM seals are available; however, these seals must not be exposed to petroleum-based fluids as they can cause damage. The wet armature design of the valve implies that the working fluid surrounds the armature which may be a consideration if the coil remains energized over extended periods as heat buildup can degrade certain types of hydraulic fluids. This model also boasts interchangeable coils compatible with other Sun Series 1 solenoid products and incorporates Sun's floating style construction to minimize internal parts binding due to installation variances. With a maximum flow capacity of 12 gpm (45 L/min) and rapid response time typically around 50 ms, the DMDALAN612N is an effective solution for controlling flow in hydraulic systems requiring precise actuation and reliability under high-pressure conditions.
