The Sun Hydraulics DMDAMPN824 (DMDAMPN824) is a solenoid-operated, 3-way, 2-position cartridge valve that offers direct-acting, balanced spool directional control. It is specifically designed to handle a maximum operating pressure of 5000 psi or 350 bar and boasts a flow capacity of up to 12 gpm or 45 L/min. This model is notable for its robust construction with the solenoid tube assembly being fatigue rated for high-pressure service. The DMDAMPN824 features a closed transition between spools B and R, enhancing performance by providing faster and more consistent response times during operation. This makes it particularly useful in applications requiring precise control such as pilot controls where capacity is less critical. The valve's direct actuation does not require any minimum hydraulic pressure, allowing it to function effectively under a variety of conditions. Additionally, this model includes options for manual override controls (D, L, T types), which are primarily intended for temporary actuation with a mechanical life expectancy of about 7,000 cycles. The valve is equipped with EPDM seals suitable for phosphate ester fluids; however, these seals must not be exposed to petroleum-based fluids as they can degrade. The wet armature design of the DMDAMPN824 means that the working fluid surrounds the armature which could be susceptible to heat if the coil remains energized over extended periods. The valve also features interchangeable coils with other Sun Series 1 solenoid products and incorporates Sun's floating style construction which minimizes internal binding due to installation torque or machining variations. With its quick response time typically around 50 ms and capability to switch up to 15,000 cycles per hour, this valve ensures reliable performance in demanding hydraulic systems.
