The Sun Hydraulics DMDALRV236 (DMDALRV236) is a high-performance solenoid-operated 3-way, 2-position cartridge valve designed for robust and efficient hydraulic system control. This direct-acting, balanced spool directional valve features a fatigue rating of 5000 psi (350 bar), making it suitable for high-pressure applications. The unique design includes spools B and R that are closed during the transition between two positions, optimizing performance by providing faster and more consistent response times, especially useful in pilot control applications where capacity is less critical. The DMDALRV236 operates without the need for minimum hydraulic pressure, enhancing its versatility in various systems. It incorporates a wet armature design where the working fluid surrounds the armature, which is crucial for understanding its operational environment, particularly when the coil is energized for extended periods. This valve's manual override options (D or L control) are equipped with a detent mechanism designed for temporary actuation, with a mechanical life expectancy of about 7,000 cycles. For compatibility with different fluids, cartridges configured with EPDM seals are specifically designed for use with phosphate ester fluids; however, they should not be exposed to petroleum-based fluids which can damage the seals. Additionally, this model offers interchangeable coils with other Sun Series 1 solenoid products and can be mounted in either direction to accommodate varying installation requirements. The DMDALRV236 also benefits from Sun's floating style construction which minimizes internal parts binding due to excessive installation torque or machining variations of cavity/cartridge. With a maximum flow capacity of 12 gpm (45 L/min) and swift response times typically around 50 ms, this valve ensures reliable and precise control in demanding hydraulic applications.
