The Sun Hydraulics DMDALAV836 (DMDALAV836) is a solenoid-operated 3-way, 2-position cartridge valve designed for high-performance hydraulic systems. This direct-acting, balanced spool directional valve features a fatigue-rated solenoid tube assembly capable of handling pressures up to 5000 psi (350 bar), making it suitable for rigorous applications. The valve ensures closed transitions between its two positions, Spools B and R, which enhances performance by providing faster and more consistent response times, especially crucial in pilot control applications where capacity is less of a concern. The DMDALAV836 does not require a minimum hydraulic pressure to operate, thanks to its direct actuation design. It includes options for manual override with detent mechanisms designed for temporary actuation, supporting a mechanical life expectancy of around 7,000 cycles. Notably, this model employs EPDM seals specifically for use with phosphate ester fluids; however, these seals are susceptible to damage when exposed to petroleum-based fluids. Incorporating a wet armature design, the valve\u2019s working fluid surrounds the armature which may be subject to heat during prolonged coil energization. This design consideration is vital as some fluids can degrade under heat, affecting the valve's performance. The interchangeable coils compatible with other Sun Series 1 solenoid products offer flexibility in mounting direction. Additional features include the Sun floating style construction that minimizes internal parts binding due to installation variances or excessive torque. The DMDALAV836 supports up to 12 gpm (45 L/min) flow capacity and offers quick response times typically around 50 ms. With its robust construction and versatile application potential across various hydraulic systems requiring precise control and reliability, this valve stands out as an essential component in advanced fluid power setups.
