The Sun Hydraulics DMDAMAN236 (DMDAMAN236) is a high-performance solenoid-operated 3-way, 2-position cartridge valve designed for precise control in hydraulic systems. This direct-acting, balanced spool directional valve is specially engineered to handle a maximum operating pressure of 5000 psi (350 bar) and has a flow capacity of up to 12 gpm (45 L/min). The valve features closed transitions between Spools B and R, optimizing performance by ensuring faster and more consistent response times, especially suitable for applications where capacity is not a critical factor. The DMDAMAN236 operates without the need for minimum hydraulic pressure, making it highly effective in various operational conditions. It includes options for manual override controls (D, L, and T types), which are primarily intended for temporary actuation with an expected mechanical life of approximately 7,000 cycles. The construction of the valve incorporates Sun's floating style design to reduce the risk of internal parts binding due to installation torque or cavity/cartridge machining variations. Additionally, this model uses EPDM seals suited for systems utilizing phosphate ester fluids; however, these seals must avoid exposure to petroleum-based fluids to prevent damage. The wet armature design of the valve ensures that the working fluid surrounds the armature which could be subject to heat during prolonged coil energization\u2014this aspect should be considered based on the fluid type used (e.g., water-glycol mixtures might degrade under high temperatures). Interchangeability of coils with other Sun Series 1 solenoid products adds versatility to this model, allowing for easy maintenance and replacement. Each unit is designed with robust features that ensure reliability and durability in demanding applications. With its quick response time typically around 50 ms and low leakage rates at high pressures, the Sun Hydraulics DMDAMAN236 valve is an optimal choice for sophisticated hydraulic control tasks requiring precise actuation and stability.
