The Sun Hydraulics DMDAMAN824 (DMDAMAN824) is a high-performance, solenoid-operated 3-way, 2-position cartridge valve designed for precise hydraulic control. This direct-acting, balanced spool directional valve ensures reliable operation with its fatigue-rated solenoid tube assembly for up to 5000 psi (350 bar) service. The DMDAMAN824 features closed transitions between spools B and R, optimizing performance by providing faster and more consistent response times especially in pilot control applications where capacity is less critical. Engineered for durability and longevity, the valve incorporates a wet armature design which involves the working fluid surrounding the armature, potentially affecting fluid properties if exposed to heat over extended periods. Thus, it is important to consider fluid compatibility; models with EPDM seals are specifically designed for use with phosphate ester fluids but are unsuitable for petroleum-based fluids which can damage the seals. This model also supports interchangeable coils with other Sun Series 1 solenoid products and offers flexibility in mounting direction on the tube. It features a manual override mechanism intended for temporary actuation with a mechanical life expectancy of approximately 7,000 cycles. Additionally, the valve benefits from Sun\u2019s floating style construction that minimizes internal binding due to installation torque or machining variations. Key specifications include a flow capacity of 12 gpm (45 L/min), typical response time of 50 ms, and maximum operating pressure of 5000 psi (350 bar). The DMDAMAN824 also allows up to 15,000 switching cycles per hour and requires manual override force of about 5 lbs at 1000 psi at Port 1. This compact unit weighs approximately 0.60 lb (0.30 kg), making it suitable for various hydraulic applications requiring robust performance and precise control.
