The Sun Hydraulics DMDAXPV236 (DMDAXPV236) is a solenoid-operated 3-way, 2-position cartridge valve designed for high-performance hydraulic systems. This direct-acting, balanced spool directional valve is well-suited for applications requiring precise control and reliability. Featuring a fatigue rating of 5000 psi (350 bar), the DMDAXPV236 ensures durability under high-pressure conditions. Its spools, B and R, remain closed during transitions between positions, enhancing performance at the cost of lower capacity, which is ideal in pilot control scenarios where capacity is less critical. The valve operates without minimum hydraulic pressure, providing flexibility in various operating environments. It includes manual override options with a detent mechanism designed for temporary actuation; these are available in models equipped with D or L control. The mechanical life expectancy of these manual control assemblies is approximately 7,000 cycles. Specifically configured for use with phosphate ester fluids, cartridges with EPDM seals should not be exposed to petroleum-based fluids to avoid damage. The DMDAXPV236 utilizes a wet armature design that can affect fluid integrity if the coil remains energized over extended periods, especially impacting water-glycol mixtures which may degrade and form varnishes. Further enhancing its versatility, the coils of this model are interchangeable with other Sun Series 1 solenoid products and can be mounted in any direction on the tube. The construction incorporates Sun's floating style to minimize internal parts binding due to excessive installation torque or variations in cavity/cartridge machining. With a typical response time of 50 ms and capable of handling up to 12 gpm (45 L/min), this valve supports a maximum operating pressure of 5000 psi (350 bar) and maintains robust performance standards crucial for advanced hydraulic systems.
