The Sun Hydraulics DMDALBN828 (DMDALBN828) is a solenoid-operated 3-way, 2-position cartridge valve, engineered for high performance in hydraulic systems. It features a direct-acting, balanced spool directional control mechanism that ensures reliable operation without the need for minimum hydraulic pressure. This model is particularly noted for its fatigue-rated solenoid tube assembly which can handle services up to 5000 psi (350 bar), making it suitable for demanding applications. The valve's design incorporates closed transitions between Spools B and R, optimizing performance by allowing faster and more consistent response times, especially useful in pilot control applications where capacity is less critical. The wet armature design of the valve facilitates the surrounding of the armature by working fluid, which helps in heat management but requires careful selection of fluid types to avoid breakdown and varnish formation that could impair functionality. This model is compatible with EPDM seals specifically designed for use with phosphate ester fluids; however, these seals are susceptible to damage if exposed to petroleum-based fluids. For maintenance and longevity, the manual override feature equipped with D or L control includes a detent mechanism designed for temporary actuation with a mechanical life expectancy of about 7,000 cycles. Additionally, the DMDALBN828 facilitates easy integration and interchangeability within Sun Series 1 solenoid products thanks to its standardized coil features. This includes interchangeable coils which can be mounted in either direction on the tube and incorporates Sun\u2019s floating style construction that minimizes internal parts binding. This model supports a flow capacity of up to 12 gpm (45 L/min) and offers quick response times typically around 50 ms, making it an efficient choice for various hydraulic system applications requiring robust control and reliability.
