The Sun Hydraulics DNCADWN248 (DNCADWN248) is a solenoid-operated, 4-way, 2-position cartridge valve designed for precise hydraulic fluid direction control in various applications. This direct-acting, balanced spool directional valve features a closed transition between positions, minimizing oil loss during shifting which is crucial in pilot control circuits. The valve operates with a capacity based on port 3 as the inlet and port 1 as the tank, although it allows for reverse flow under certain conditions. Engineered to handle maximum operating pressures up to 5000 psi (350 bar), the DNCADWN248 is fatigue rated for high-performance durability. It requires no minimum hydraulic pressure for operation, making it versatile in different system setups. The valve incorporates EPDM seals specifically for use with phosphate ester fluids; however, these seals are susceptible to damage if exposed to petroleum-based fluids. This model utilizes a wet armature design where the working fluid surrounds the armature, potentially affecting fluid integrity under prolonged heat exposure from the coil. It supports a variety of coil termination and voltage options and can accommodate environmental protection enhancements through additional weatherized coils and kits. Notably efficient due to its unique magnetic design, the solenoid provides high spool actuating force per Watt expended, ensuring reliable valve shifting. The interchangeable coils are compatible with other Sun Series 1 solenoid products and can be mounted in either direction on the tube. Various connector options are available that offer up to IP69K ratings. Additional features include Sun's floating style construction which helps prevent internal parts binding due to installation torque or machining variations of cavity/cartridge. With specifications like a response time of approximately 50 ms and a capacity of 8 gpm (30 L/min), this model is optimized for robust performance and reliability in demanding hydraulic systems.
