The Sun Hydraulics DMDMDAV (DMDMDAV) is a manually operated, 2-position, 3-way directional cartridge valve designed primarily for controlling the direction of flow in hydraulic circuits. This direct-acting, balanced spool valve features Sun's TwistLock manual override mechanism, tailored specifically for intermittent and infrequent usage. The valve offers various control options including a momentary twist (option T), detent lock (option L), and dual operation (option D). The momentary twist allows temporary shifting of the valve by twisting the knob clockwise; upon release, the valve automatically returns to its original position. The detent lock option enables the valve to stay in a mechanically detented position until manually reverted. The dual operation combines both functionalities. Constructed with Sun's floating style design, the DMDMDAV minimizes internal part binding caused by excessive installation torque or cavity/cartridge machining variations. It has a mechanical life expectancy of around 7,000 cycles and is designed to handle a flow capacity of up to 12 gpm (45 L/min) with a maximum operating pressure of 5000 psi (350 bar). Other technical specifications include a maximum leakage at 3000 psi of 5 in\u00b3/min and an operating torque requirement of approximately 10 lbf\u00b7in. It requires an installation torque between 30-35 lbf\u00b7ft and utilizes Viton seals for enhanced performance under varying conditions. This cartridge fits into a T11A cavity and is part of Sun's Series 1 lineup. Ideal for applications requiring manual flow direction control without continuous operation, the DMDMDAV ensures robust performance and reliability in suitable hydraulic setups. It\u2019s essential that operation remains manual as modifications or mechanical automation could impair function and safety.
