The Sun Hydraulics DMDALPV836 (DMDALPV836) is a high-performance, solenoid-operated 3-way, 2-position cartridge valve designed for robust industrial applications. This direct-acting, balanced spool directional valve is notable for its ability to operate without minimum hydraulic pressure, enhancing its versatility in various hydraulic systems. The valve features a unique closed transition between Spools B and R, optimizing performance by providing faster and more consistent response times during pilot control operations where capacity is not the primary concern. Engineered with a fatigue rating for up to 5000 psi (350 bar), the DMDALPV836 ensures durability and reliability under high-pressure conditions. It incorporates a wet armature design wherein the working fluid surrounds the armature; this design consideration is crucial for applications where the coil may be energized for extended periods, although care must be taken with certain fluid types that may degrade at higher temperatures. The manual override feature of this model is equipped with a detent mechanism intended for temporary actuation only, supporting mechanical life expectancy around 7,000 cycles. For environments using phosphate ester fluids, cartridges configured with EPDM seals are recommended to avoid damage from petroleum-based substances. Additionally, the DMDALPV836 benefits from Sun Hydraulics' floating style construction which minimizes internal part binding due to installation torque or cavity/cartridge machining variations. This model also supports interchangeable coils from other Sun Series 1 solenoid products and can accommodate up to 12 gpm (45 L/min) flow capacity with maximum operating pressures of 5000 psi (350 bar). The quick response time typically around 50 ms and minimal leakage rates enhance its efficiency in fast-paced operational settings. These features make the DMDALPV836 an excellent choice for demanding applications requiring precise control and reliability.
