The Sun Hydraulics DMDALBV72499 (DMDALBV72499) 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 robust design with a fatigue rating of 5000 psi (350 bar), making it suitable for demanding applications. The valve operates with no minimum hydraulic pressure required, ensuring reliable performance across a range of conditions. Equipped with interchangeable coils from the Sun Series 1 solenoid products, the DMDALBV72499 offers flexible installation options as the coils can be mounted in either direction on the tube. The valve also incorporates Sun's floating style construction which helps minimize internal parts binding that could occur due to excessive installation torque or cavity/cartridge machining variations. This model is particularly noted for its closed transition between spools B and R, which enhances performance by providing faster and more consistent response times, especially useful in pilot control applications where capacity is less critical. The manual override feature includes a detent mechanism designed for temporary actuation, with a mechanical life expectancy of about 7,000 cycles. For systems using phosphate ester fluids, cartridges configured with EPDM seals are recommended to avoid damage from petroleum-based fluids. Additionally, the wet armature design of this valve means that the working fluid surrounds the armature; this should be considered in applications where the coil may be energized for extended periods as some fluids may degrade under prolonged heat exposure. With a typical response time of 50 ms and capable of handling up to 12 gpm (45 L/min), this model provides efficient flow control within hydraulic circuits. Its maximum operating pressure capability and switching frequency support its use in various high-demand operational contexts.
