The Sun Hydraulics DMDALBN912 (DMDALBN912) is a high-performance solenoid-operated 3-way, 2-position cartridge valve that offers precise control in hydraulic systems. This direct-acting, balanced spool directional valve is specifically designed for robust applications, featuring a fatigue rating of 5000 psi (350 bar) for the solenoid tube assembly. It incorporates a closed transition between Spools B and R, enhancing performance by ensuring faster and more consistent response times, particularly beneficial in pilot control applications where capacity is less critical. The DMDALBN912 operates without requiring a minimum hydraulic pressure, making it versatile for various operational environments. It includes manual override options with the D or L control, which are intended for temporary actuation and have a mechanical life expectancy of approximately 7,000 cycles. The valve's design utilizes EPDM seals suitable for phosphate ester fluids but must avoid exposure to petroleum-based fluids to prevent seal damage. With a wet armature design, the DMDALBN912\u2019s working fluid surrounds the armature which may be exposed to heat during prolonged coil energization\u2014important to consider when using fluids like water-glycol mixtures that could degrade under high temperatures. The interchangeable coils compatible with other Sun Series 1 solenoid products offer flexibility in mounting and maintenance. This model also features Sun\u2019s floating style construction which minimizes internal parts binding due to installation torque or cavity-cartridge machining variations. Key specifications include a flow capacity of 12 gpm (45 L/min), maximum operating pressure of 5000 psi (350 bar), typical response time of 50 ms, and maximum valve leakage at 5 in\u00b3/min at 3000 psi. The manual override requires minimal force, enhancing ease of use under different pressure settings. This makes the DMDALBN912 an ideal choice for sophisticated hydraulic systems requiring reliable and efficient directional control.
