The Sun Hydraulics DMDAXAV214 (DMDAXAV214) is a high-performance solenoid-operated 3-way, 2-position cartridge valve designed for rigorous hydraulic applications. This direct-acting, balanced spool directional valve is particularly noted for its robust construction and the ability to operate without minimum hydraulic pressure. The valve features a fatigue-rated solenoid tube assembly suitable for up to 5000 psi (350 bar) service, ensuring durability and reliability under high-pressure conditions. This model boasts quick and consistent response times due to its closed transition between Spools B and R, making it ideal for use as pilot controls where capacity is less critical. The DMDAXAV214 incorporates EPDM seals specifically for use with phosphate ester fluids; however, these seals must avoid contact with petroleum-based fluids to prevent damage. Additionally, the wet armature design of the valve means that the working fluid surrounds the armature which could be susceptible to heat during prolonged energization, potentially affecting fluid integrity over time. Interchangeability of coils with other Sun Series 1 solenoid products adds versatility to this model, allowing for easy maintenance and replacement. The manual override feature equipped on models with D or L control is designed for temporary actuation only, with a mechanical life expectancy of around 7,000 cycles. Furthermore, its floating style construction minimizes internal part binding due to installation torque or cavity/cartridge machining variations. The DMDAXAV214 supports a flow capacity up to 12 gpm (45 L/min) and can handle maximum operating pressures up to 5000 psi (350 bar). With typical response times around 50 ms and maximum valve leakage at 110 SUS (24 cSt) maintained below 5 in\u00b3/min at 3000 psi (80 cc/min at 210 bar), this valve ensures efficient operation and leakage control in various hydraulic systems.
