The Sun Hydraulics DNCALBN936 (DNCALBN936) 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 features a closed transition between positions, which significantly reduces oil loss during shifting\u2014a critical feature for maintaining efficiency in pilot control circuits. The DNCALBN936 is engineered for versatility with a valve capacity defined by port 3 as the inlet and port 1 as the tank return path. While it allows for reverse flow, optimal performance under such conditions isn't guaranteed. Notably, this model requires no minimum hydraulic pressure to operate and includes a fatigue-rated solenoid tube assembly capable of handling up to 5000 psi (350 bar). The valve's wet armature design means that the working fluid surrounds the armature; thus, it is crucial to consider fluid characteristics as some may degrade at higher temperatures. This model also boasts rapid response times typical of Sun Hydraulics' products\u201450 ms\u2014and can handle maximum operating pressures of 5000 psi (350 bar). With a switching frequency of up to 15,000 cycles per hour and minimal leakage at high pressures, it ensures reliable operation even under demanding conditions. The DNCALBN936 can be equipped with various coil termination and voltage options, enhancing its adaptability across different applications. Furthermore, this valve uses EPDM seals specifically designed for systems using phosphate ester fluids; however, exposure to petroleum-based fluids should be avoided to prevent seal damage. Users will find additional ease of integration given that coils are interchangeable with other Sun Series 1 solenoid products and can be mounted in either direction on the tube. The robust construction minimizes internal part binding risks due to installation or machining variations\u2014ensuring long-term reliability and performance stability in diverse hydraulic applications.
