The Sun Hydraulics DNCADAN236 (DNCADAN236) is a high-performance, solenoid-operated, 4-way, 2-position cartridge valve designed for efficient control in hydraulic systems. This direct-acting, balanced spool directional valve features a closed transition between positions, minimizing oil loss during shifting which is crucial in maintaining the efficiency of pilot control circuits. It is engineered to function optimally with port 3 as the inlet and port 1 as the tank, although reverse flow is possible. The DNCADAN236 valve boasts a robust design with a solenoid tube assembly that is fatigue rated for 5000 psi (350 bar) service, ensuring reliability under high-pressure conditions. It operates without requiring a minimum hydraulic pressure, making it versatile for various applications. The valve\u2019s cartridges are compatible with EPDM seals specifically for use with phosphate ester fluids; however, exposure to petroleum-based fluids should be avoided as it can damage the seals. This model employs a wet armature design where the working fluid surrounds the armature. This setup needs consideration if the coil remains energized for extended periods as heat generated by the coil could degrade certain fluid types. The DNCADAN236 also features a variety of coil termination and voltage options including versions with surge protection and weatherized coils for enhanced environmental resilience. Innovatively incorporating Sun\u2019s floating style construction, this valve minimizes internal parts binding which can occur due to excessive installation torque or cavity/cartridge machining variations. Its magnetic design enhances solenoid efficiency providing higher spool actuating force per Watt expended which leads to reliable valve operation. The coils are interchangeable with other Sun Series 1 solenoid products and offer flexibility in mounting direction. Overall, the Sun Hydraulics DNCADAN236 provides advanced hydraulic control with high reliability and adaptability suitable for demanding applications where precise fluid handling is required.
