The Sun Hydraulics DNCADLV836 (DNCADLV836) is a high-performance, solenoid-operated, 4-way, 2-position cartridge valve that excels in delivering precise directional control in hydraulic systems. Featuring a direct-acting, balanced spool design, this valve ensures smooth and efficient operation with closed transitions between positions to minimize oil loss during shifts. This characteristic is particularly beneficial in pilot control circuits where maintaining fluid integrity is crucial. The DNCADLV836 operates with a valve capacity determined by using port 3 as the inlet and port 1 as the tank. While it does allow for reverse flow, optimal performance under these conditions cannot be assured. The robust design includes a solenoid tube assembly that is fatigue rated for service up to 5000 psi (350 bar), making it suitable for high-pressure applications. Additionally, the valve requires no minimum hydraulic pressure for operation, enhancing its versatility across various hydraulic setups. Constructed with EPDM seals configured specifically for use with phosphate ester fluids, the DNCADLV836 must avoid exposure to petroleum-based products to prevent seal damage. Its wet armature setup means the working fluid surrounds the armature which could be susceptible to heat during prolonged coil energization\u2014a consideration when using certain fluid types like water-glycol mixtures. This model also boasts a variety of coil termination and voltage options, including designs with surge protection and others rated up to IP69K for enhanced environmental resilience. The coils are interchangeable with other Sun Series 1 solenoid products and can be mounted in either direction on the tube, providing flexibility in installation and maintenance. Incorporating Sun's floating style construction minimizes internal parts binding due to installation torque or cavity/cartridge machining variations, ensuring reliable and consistent performance. With its swift response time of typically 50 ms and capacity up to 8 gpm (30 L/min), the DNCADLV836 stands out as an effective solution for dynamic fluid management in complex hydraulic systems.
