The Sun Hydraulics DNCALAV4E24V (DNCALAV4E24V) is a solenoid-operated, 4-way, 2-position cartridge valve that features a direct-acting, balanced spool with a closed transition between positions. This design significantly minimizes oil loss during shifting, which is especially beneficial in pilot control circuits. The valve operates effectively with port 3 as the inlet and port 1 as the tank outlet; however, it allows for reverse flow albeit with potentially varied performance. Engineered for robust performance, the DNCALAV4E24V can handle up to 5000 psi (350 bar), and it does not require a minimum hydraulic pressure to function. This makes it versatile for various applications without needing specific pressure conditions to operate. The valve's solenoid tube assembly is fatigue rated for high-pressure service, ensuring durability and reliability even under strenuous conditions. Moreover, this model employs a wet armature design where the working fluid surrounds the armature. This configuration can influence fluid integrity over extended periods of energization, particularly affecting water-glycol mixtures which may degrade and form varnishes that could impair cartridge functionality. The DNCALAV4E24V offers various coil termination and voltage options, including models with surge protection. Its coils are interchangeable with other Sun Series 1 solenoid products and can be mounted in either direction on the tube. Connector options for these coils meet high environmental protection standards up to IP69K. Additionally, this valve incorporates Sun's floating style construction which reduces risks associated with internal parts binding due to installation torque or cavity/cartridge machining discrepancies. With a quick response time of approximately 50 ms and capable of handling up to 8 gpm (30 L/min) flow capacity at maximum operating pressures, the DNCALAV4E24V is an efficient solution designed to meet demanding hydraulic control needs while ensuring operational reliability and longevity.
