The Sun Hydraulics DNCADTV236 (DNCADTV236) is a high-performance, solenoid-operated, 4-way, 2-position cartridge valve designed for precise hydraulic fluid direction control in various applications. The valve features a direct-acting, balanced spool with a closed transition between positions to minimize oil loss during shifting, especially critical in pilot control circuits. It offers an efficient setup where port 3 serves as the inlet and port 1 as the tank outlet, though it supports reverse flow under certain conditions. This model is particularly robust, being fatigue rated for service up to 5000 psi (350 bar). It operates without requiring a minimum hydraulic pressure, making it versatile across different system conditions. The DNCADTV236 incorporates EPDM seals suitable for phosphate ester fluids but must avoid exposure to petroleum-based substances which could damage the seals. Its wet armature design allows the working fluid to surround the armature which is beneficial but requires consideration of the fluid type due to potential breakdowns from prolonged heat exposure. The DNCADTV236 provides various coil termination and voltage options, enhancing its adaptability to different electrical setups and environmental conditions. Its magnetic design optimizes efficiency by maximizing spool actuating force per watt expended, ensuring reliable valve performance. Additionally, Sun Hydraulics' floating style construction reduces risks associated with internal parts binding caused by installation torque or machining variations. Key specifications include an 8 gpm (30 L/min) capacity, typical response time of 50 ms, and maximum operating pressure of 5000 psi (350 bar). The valve also supports up to 15,000 switching cycles per hour and offers manual override capabilities with minimal force requirement. With its interchangeable coils and multiple protective options for harsh environments, this model is engineered for durability and consistent performance in demanding applications.
