The Sun Hydraulics DMDAXAV814 (DMDAXAV814) is a solenoid-operated 3-way, 2-position cartridge valve designed for high-performance hydraulic systems. This direct-acting, balanced spool directional valve features a fatigue-rated solenoid tube assembly capable of handling services up to 5000 psi (350 bar). The valve's construction includes closed spools B and R during the transition between positions, optimizing performance by ensuring faster and more consistent response times especially in pilot control applications where capacity is less critical. The DMDAXAV814 operates without requiring a minimum hydraulic pressure, making it highly effective in various operational contexts. It also features manual override options with the D or L control having a mechanical life expectancy of around 7,000 cycles. Particularly suited for systems using phosphate ester fluids, this model incorporates EPDM seals to prevent damage from petroleum-based substances. Its wet armature design allows the working fluid to surround the armature, which could be crucial when considering the thermal effects during prolonged coil energization. Interchangeability of coils with other Sun Series 1 solenoid products adds versatility to this model, allowing for easy maintenance and replacement. Additionally, the incorporation of Sun\u2019s floating style construction minimizes internal parts binding caused by excessive installation torque or cavity/cartridge machining variations. Key specifications include a maximum operating pressure of 5000 psi (350 bar), flow capacity up to 12 gpm (45 L/min), and typical response time of 50 ms. The valve also supports switching frequencies up to 15,000 cycles per hour and has manual override features that require minimal force. This robust design ensures reliable operation even under demanding conditions, making it a preferred choice for sophisticated hydraulic applications.
