The Sun Hydraulics DMDAMAV836 (DMDAMAV836) is a high-performance solenoid-operated 3-way, 2-position cartridge valve designed for precise hydraulic fluid direction control in complex systems. This direct-acting, balanced spool directional valve ensures reliable operation with its fatigue-rated solenoid tube assembly for pressures 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, particularly suitable for applications as pilot controls where flow capacity is less critical. The DMDAMAV836 operates without requiring a minimum hydraulic pressure, making it versatile for various operational scenarios. It includes manual override options with a detent mechanism designed for temporary actuation, supporting up to approximately 7,000 cycles. This model is equipped to handle phosphate ester fluids when configured with EPDM seals; however, these seals must avoid exposure to petroleum-based substances to prevent damage. Additionally, the valve employs a wet armature design which involves the working fluid enveloping the armature; this characteristic needs consideration regarding the type of fluid used due to potential breakdowns under prolonged heat exposure. The interchangeable coils compatible with other Sun Series 1 solenoid products offer flexibility in maintenance and setup. The construction of the DMDAMAV836 utilizes Sun\u2019s floating style which minimizes internal binding risks caused by installation stresses or component machining variations. Key specifications include a flow capacity of 12 gpm (45 L/min), rapid response times typically around 50 ms, and operational durability supported by a maximum switching frequency of 15,000 cycles per hour. Installation requires specific attention to torque settings between 30-35 lbf ft (41-47 Nm) to maintain optimal performance and longevity. This model's thoughtful design and robust construction make it an essential component for efficient hydraulic system management.
