The Sun Hydraulics DMDALAV224N (DMDALAV224N) 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 function optimally at a maximum operating pressure of 5000 psi (350 bar) and features a flow capacity of 12 gpm (45 L/min). The valve's solenoid tube assembly is fatigue rated for demanding applications, ensuring durability and reliability under continuous use. A notable feature of the DMDALAV224N is its closed transition between Spools B and R, which enhances performance by providing faster and more consistent response times, particularly useful in pilot control applications where capacity is less critical. The valve operates without requiring a minimum hydraulic pressure, adding to its versatility across various hydraulic circuits. The model includes options for manual override controls (D, L, T), each designed with a mechanical life expectancy of about 7,000 cycles. For environments using phosphate ester fluids, cartridges equipped with EPDM seals are recommended to prevent damage from petroleum-based fluids. Additionally, the wet armature design helps manage the heat generated by the coil but requires consideration regarding fluid compatibility as prolonged exposure can lead to breakdown and varnish formation. This model also incorporates interchangeable coils compatible with other Sun Series 1 solenoid products and features Sun's floating style construction to minimize internal parts binding due to installation variances. With a rapid response time of approximately 50 ms and precise control capabilities facilitated by its advanced design features, the DMDALAV224N is an effective solution for sophisticated hydraulic systems requiring robust control and reliability.
