The Sun Hydraulics DNCALBV812N (DNCALBV812N) is a high-performance, solenoid-operated, 4-way, 2-position cartridge valve designed for direct-acting operation with a balanced spool directional control mechanism. This model is distinguished by its closed transition between positions, which minimizes oil loss during shifting\u2014a crucial feature for maintaining efficiency in pilot control circuits. With a valve capacity determined by Port 3 as the inlet and Port 1 as the tank, the DNCALBV812N supports a maximum flow of 8 gpm (30 L/min) and can handle pressures up to 5000 psi (350 bar). The valve's solenoid tube assembly is fatigue rated for high-pressure service, enhancing its reliability and lifespan even under rigorous conditions. It also features a wet armature design where the working fluid surrounds the armature, potentially affecting fluid characteristics if exposed to prolonged heat from coil energization. Special attention is needed when using water-glycol mixtures as they may degrade under such conditions. Notably versatile in configuration, the DNCALBV812N 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. For environments demanding higher durability, additional weatherized coils and kits are available to ensure comprehensive environmental protection. Furthermore, this model incorporates Sun\u2019s floating style construction which reduces risks associated with internal parts binding due to installation torque or cavity/cartridge machining variations. The rapid response time of typically 50 ms and switching frequency of up to 15,000 cycles per hour make this valve highly responsive and suitable for applications requiring frequent actuations. The DNCALBV812N also features manual override capabilities that require minimal force, ensuring easy operation even during manual adjustments.
