The Sun Hydraulics DMDAXAV223 (DMDAXAV223) is a high-performance solenoid-operated 3-way, 2-position cartridge valve. This direct-acting, balanced spool directional valve is designed to efficiently control the direction of fluid in hydraulic systems. It features a robust construction with the solenoid tube assembly being fatigue rated for 5000 psi (350 bar) service, ensuring reliability and durability under high-pressure conditions. The DMDAXAV223 utilizes a closed transition between Spools B and R, enhancing performance by providing faster and more consistent response times during operation. This characteristic makes it particularly suitable for applications as pilot controls where capacity is less critical. The valve operates without needing a minimum hydraulic pressure, offering flexibility in various hydraulic circuit configurations. Equipped with EPDM seals, the DMDAXAV223 is optimized for use with phosphate ester fluids; however, it is important to avoid exposure to petroleum-based fluids which can damage the seals. The wet armature design of the valve means that the working fluid surrounds the armature which could be susceptible to heat during prolonged energization\u2014something to consider depending on the fluid used. This model supports interchangeable coils with other Sun Series 1 solenoid products and features a manual override mechanism designed primarily for temporary actuation with an expected mechanical life of about 7,000 cycles. The floating style construction minimizes internal part binding due to installation torque or machining variations in cavity/cartridge setups. With its comprehensive design features and specifications such as a maximum operating pressure of 5000 psi (350 bar), flow capacity up to 12 gpm (45 L/min), and rapid response time typically around 50 ms, this valve ensures efficient and reliable performance in controlling fluid direction in hydraulic systems.
