The Sun Hydraulics DMDATBN236 (DMDATBN236) is a solenoid-operated 3-way, 2-position cartridge valve that functions as a direct-acting, balanced spool directional valve. This model is specifically designed to handle a maximum operating pressure of 5000 psi (350 bar) and offers a flow capacity of up to 12 gpm (45 L/min). The DMDATBN236 features a rapid response time of approximately 50 ms and can accommodate switching frequencies up to 15,000 cycles per hour. The valve incorporates a wet armature design which implies that the working fluid surrounds the armature, potentially affecting the temperature of the fluid during prolonged activation. This model is compatible with EPDM seals for systems using phosphate ester fluids but should avoid exposure to petroleum-based fluids which could damage the seals. Additionally, it features interchangeable coils that are consistent with other Sun Series 1 solenoid products and can be mounted in either direction on the tube. Constructed with Sun's floating style construction, the DMDATBN236 minimizes internal parts binding which could result from excessive installation torque or variations in cavity/cartridge machining. This design detail enhances its reliability and consistency in performance. The manual override option equipped on this model requires minimal force for actuation and provides a mechanical life expectancy of about 7,000 cycles. This valve is ideal for applications requiring precise control with fast response times and high-pressure operations. It is particularly suited for use as pilot controls where its closed transition between positions ensures more consistent and faster actuation without compromising on performance limits due to lower capacity considerations.
