The Sun Hydraulics DNCADCN223 (DNCADCN223) is a high-performance, solenoid-operated 4-way, 2-position cartridge valve featuring a direct-acting, balanced spool with closed transition. This design significantly minimizes oil loss during shifting, which is particularly advantageous in pilot control circuits. The valve can handle a flow capacity of 8 gpm (30 L/min) based on using port 3 as the inlet and port 1 as the tank outlet. Although it permits reverse flow, optimal performance in this mode isn't guaranteed. Constructed for robustness, the DNCADCN223 operates without requiring a minimum hydraulic pressure and features a solenoid tube assembly rated for fatigue at 5000 psi (350 bar). The valve's wet armature design allows the working fluid to surround the armature, potentially affecting fluid properties if exposed to heat from prolonged coil energization. Users should note that EPDM seals are utilized specifically for systems with phosphate ester fluids; exposure to petroleum-based fluids will compromise these seals. This model incorporates Sun's floating style construction to mitigate internal part binding due to excessive installation torque or variations in cavity/cartridge machining. It offers versatility with various coil termination and voltage options, including configurations with surge protection. The coils are interchangeable across other Sun Series 1 solenoid products and can be mounted in either direction on the tube. The DNCADCN223 also boasts an efficient magnetic design which enhances solenoid efficiency and ensures reliable valve shifting. Additional features include environmental protection options through weatherized coils and kits, manual override capabilities, IP69K-rated connector options for coils, and quick response times typical at 50 ms. With its comprehensive configuration possibilities and robust build quality, this valve is an excellent choice for demanding hydraulic applications requiring precise control and reliability.
