The Sun Hydraulics DMDATNV948 (DMDATNV948) is a high-performance, solenoid-operated 3-way, 2-position cartridge valve. It features a direct-acting, balanced spool design that ensures reliable control in hydraulic systems. This model 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's rapid response time is typically around 50 ms, making it suitable for applications requiring quick actuation. The DMDATNV948 utilizes a wet armature design where the working fluid surrounds the armature, which can be critical in applications where the coil remains energized for extended periods. This design consideration helps manage the heat generated by the coil but requires careful selection of hydraulic fluids to avoid breakdown and varnish formation. The model is compatible with EPDM seals when used with phosphate ester fluids; however, these seals must not be exposed to petroleum-based fluids as they can cause damage. Additional features include interchangeable coils with other Sun Series 1 solenoid products and a floating style construction that minimizes internal parts binding. The manual override mechanism provided on models with D or L control is designed for temporary actuation and has an expected mechanical life of about 7,000 cycles. This valve is particularly effective as pilot controls in systems where capacity is less critical but fast and consistent response times are necessary. The closed transition between spool positions enhances performance limits at the expense of lower capacity. Ideal for various high-pressure hydraulic applications, this valve stands out for its robust construction, versatile performance capabilities, and reliability in demanding operational conditions.
