The Sun Hydraulics DNCALAV714 (DNCALAV714) is a high-performance, solenoid-operated, 4-way, 2-position cartridge valve designed for precise hydraulic control. This direct-acting, balanced spool directional valve features a closed transition between positions, which significantly minimizes oil loss during shifting\u2014a crucial advantage in pilot control circuits. The valve\u2019s capability is highlighted by its ability to handle a flow capacity of 8 gpm/30 L/min with maximum operating pressure up to 5000 psi/350 bar. The DNCALAV714 operates effectively without requiring a minimum hydraulic pressure and incorporates EPDM seals specifically for use with phosphate ester fluids; however, these seals are not compatible with petroleum-based fluids, greases, and lubricants as exposure can cause damage. Its wet armature design allows the working fluid to surround the armature which is beneficial but requires consideration regarding heat generation if the coil remains energized for extended periods. For versatility in application and installation, the DNCALAV714 offers various coil termination and voltage options, including models with surge protection. The coils are interchangeable with other Sun Series 1 solenoid products and can be oriented in either direction upon mounting. Connector options for these coils can meet environmental ratings up to IP69K. Additionally, this model uses Sun\u2019s floating style construction to prevent internal parts binding due to installation torque or variations in cavity/cartridge machining. Notably efficient due to its unique magnetic design, the solenoid of DNCALAV714 provides a high spool actuating force per watt expended which ensures reliable valve shifting. This efficiency is complemented by a quick response time typical at 50 ms and an operational lifespan supported by fatigue rating for 5000 psi service. This makes the DNCALAV714 an ideal solution for systems requiring robust and precise fluid control.
