The Sun Hydraulics DNCADWN298 (DNCADWN298) is a high-performance, solenoid-operated, 4-way, 2-position cartridge valve designed for robust and efficient control in hydraulic systems. This direct-acting, balanced spool directional valve ensures a closed transition between positions, minimizing oil loss during shifting which is crucial for maintaining the integrity of pilot control circuits. The valve features a unique configuration where port 3 serves as the inlet and port 1 as the tank outlet, although it supports reverse flow with noted limitations on performance. Constructed to handle a maximum operating pressure of 5000 psi (350 bar) and a flow capacity of up to 8 gpm (30 L/min), the DNCADWN298 is equipped with EPDM seals suitable for phosphate ester fluids; however, these seals are vulnerable to damage from exposure to petroleum-based fluids. Its solenoid tube assembly is fatigue rated for high-pressure service, ensuring durability and reliability under rigorous conditions. The DNCADWN298 incorporates advanced design elements such as a wet armature setup where the working fluid surrounds the armature. This design consideration is vital when the coil is energized for extended periods, potentially affecting fluid integrity in certain conditions like those involving water-glycol mixtures. Additionally, this model offers an array of coil termination and voltage options, including configurations with surge protection and various environmental shielding choices to suit diverse operational environments. This model also benefits from Sun Hydraulics' floating style construction which reduces risks associated with internal parts binding due to installation issues or cavity/cartridge machining discrepancies. With interchangeable coils compatible with other Sun Series 1 solenoid products and multiple connector options that meet up to IP69K standards, the DNCADWN298 provides flexible solutions tailored to meet stringent application requirements effectively.
