The Sun Hydraulics DMDALPN2E12V (DMDALPN2E12V) is a high-performance, solenoid-operated 3-way, 2-position cartridge valve designed for precise hydraulic control. This direct-acting, balanced spool directional valve is particularly noted for its robust construction which includes a fatigue-rated solenoid tube assembly capable of handling pressures up to 5000 psi (350 bar). The valve features closed transitions between its two positions (Spools B and R), optimizing performance by ensuring faster and more consistent response times, especially suitable for applications where capacity is less critical. The DMDALPN2E12V operates without requiring a minimum hydraulic pressure, enhancing its versatility across various hydraulic systems. It includes options for manual override controls (D, L, and T types), which are primarily intended for temporary actuation with a mechanical life expectancy of around 7,000 cycles. Additionally, the valve is compatible with EPDM seals designed specifically for use with phosphate ester fluids; however, these seals must not be exposed to petroleum-based fluids as they can cause damage. Another key feature of this model is its wet armature design allowing the working fluid to surround the armature and absorb heat from the coil. This design consideration is crucial when the coil remains energized over extended periods. The valve's construction also minimizes internal parts binding through Sun's floating style construction technique, accommodating potential variations in installation torque and machining. With a capacity of 12 gpm (45 L/min) and quick response times typically around 50 ms, the DMDALPN2E12V ensures efficient flow control in demanding applications. Its interchangeable coils with other Sun Series 1 solenoid products offer additional flexibility in maintenance and setup.
