The Sun Hydraulics DMDALBV736 (DMDALBV736) is a high-performance, solenoid-operated 3-way, 2-position cartridge valve designed for rigorous hydraulic applications. This direct-acting, balanced spool directional valve is engineered to operate seamlessly without the need for minimum hydraulic pressure, making it highly effective for a variety of uses. The DMDALBV736 features fatigue-rated solenoid tubes for service at pressures up to 5000 psi (350 bar), ensuring durability and reliability in demanding environments. The valve\u2019s design includes closed transitions between Spools B and R, enhancing performance by providing faster and more consistent response times, particularly useful in pilot control applications where capacity is less critical. Additionally, the manual override function equipped with D or L control offers a detent mechanism intended for temporary actuation with a mechanical life expectancy of approximately 7,000 cycles. Configurations with EPDM seals are specifically meant for systems using phosphate ester fluids; however, these seals must avoid exposure to petroleum-based fluids which can cause damage. The wet armature design of the valve allows the working fluid to surround the armature which may be a consideration if the coil remains energized over extended periods as this can lead to fluid breakdown and varnish formation. Interchangeability of coils with other Sun Series 1 solenoid products adds versatility to this model, allowing mounting on the tube in either direction. The incorporation of Sun\u2019s floating style construction minimizes internal part binding due to excessive installation torque or variations in cavity/cartridge machining. With a maximum operating capacity of 12 gpm (45 L/min) and swift response times typically around 50 ms, the DMDALBV736 is optimized for high-frequency switching up to 15,000 cycles per hour while maintaining robust leak protection and operational integrity under high pressure conditions.
