The Sun Hydraulics DMDAMAN214N (DMDAMAN214N) 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 notable for its robust construction and compatibility with high-pressure applications, being fatigue rated for up to 5000 psi (350 bar). The valve features closed transitions between Spools B and R, enhancing performance by ensuring faster and more consistent response times ideal for pilot control applications where capacity is less critical. Equipped with EPDM seals, the DMDAMAN214N is specifically configured for use with phosphate ester fluids; however, it should not be used with petroleum-based fluids as these can damage the seals. It also incorporates a wet armature design which means the working fluid surrounds the armature\u2014this design consideration is crucial when the coil is energized over long periods as heat buildup can degrade certain types of hydraulic fluids. For manual operation, this model includes a detent mechanism in the override feature suitable for temporary actuation with a mechanical life expectancy of around 7,000 cycles. The interchangeable coils of this valve are consistent with other Sun Series 1 solenoid products and offer flexibility in mounting direction. Additional design features include Sun's floating style construction which minimizes internal parts binding\u2014a common issue in valves due to excessive installation torque or machining variations. This valve supports a maximum flow capacity of 12 gpm (45 L/min) and offers rapid response times typically around 50 ms. It also maintains low leakage rates at high pressures and can handle switching frequencies up to 15,000 cycles per hour. With its compact size and a weight of only 0.60 lb (0.30 kg), the DMDAMAN214N provides a reliable solution for sophisticated hydraulic systems requiring precise control and durability.
