The Sun Hydraulics DMDALAV712 (DMDALAV712) is a high-performance solenoid-operated 3-way, 2-position cartridge valve designed for precise hydraulic control. This direct-acting, balanced spool directional valve is engineered to function optimally in systems with a maximum operating pressure of 5000 psi (350 bar) and has a flow capacity of up to 12 gpm (45 L/min). The DMDALAV712 features closed transitions between spool positions B and R, enhancing performance by providing faster and more consistent response times, particularly suitable for pilot control applications where capacity is less critical. With no minimum hydraulic pressure required for operation, the valve offers versatile deployment in various configurations. The inclusion of EPDM seals makes this model compatible with phosphate ester fluids, although it should not be exposed to petroleum-based fluids which can damage the seals. Its wet armature design allows the working fluid to surround the armature, which should be considered if the coil remains energized for extended periods due to potential heat build-up affecting fluid integrity. Additionally, the manual override mechanism incorporated in models with D or L control is designed primarily for temporary actuation with a mechanical life expectancy of around 7,000 cycles. The Sun Hydraulics floating style construction minimizes internal parts binding caused by excessive installation torque or cavity/cartridge machining variations. This model also supports interchangeable coils with other Sun Series 1 solenoid products and can be mounted in either direction on the tube. These features make the DMDALAV712 an adaptable solution for demanding hydraulic applications requiring robust and reliable directional control.
