The Sun Hydraulics DMDAXNN524 (DMDAXNN524) is a solenoid-operated 3-way, 2-position cartridge valve that excels in applications requiring a direct-acting, balanced spool directional control. With a maximum operating pressure of 5000 psi (350 bar) and a response time of approximately 50 ms, this valve is designed for high-performance and reliability in various hydraulic systems. The DMDAXNN524 features interchangeable coils with other Sun Series 1 solenoid products, enhancing its versatility and ease of integration. This model is built with a wet armature design where the working fluid surrounds the armature, suitable for environments where the coil may be energized for extended periods. However, it is important to note that certain fluids like water-glycol mixtures might degrade under prolonged exposure to heat, affecting performance. The valve incorporates Sun's floating style construction to reduce internal part binding due to installation torque or cavity/cartridge machining variations. The DMDAXNN524 operates efficiently with a flow capacity of up to 12 gpm (45 L/min) and features minimal leakage at high pressures (5 in\u00b3/min at 3000 psi). Its manual override mechanism requires modest force (5 lbs at 1000 psi), facilitating easy operation when electrical actuation is not feasible. This model's robust build includes EPDM seals optimized for phosphate ester fluids, although these seals are sensitive to petroleum-based substances. Ideal for use as pilot controls or in applications where rapid and consistent response times are critical, the DMDAXNN524 offers both performance and durability in compact hydraulic systems. Its mechanical life expectancy extends to about 7,000 cycles when equipped with manual control options like the D or L control, ensuring long-term reliability in demanding operational conditions.
