The Sun Hydraulics DNCALCN223 (DNCALCN223) is a high-performance, solenoid-operated, 4-way, 2-position cartridge valve designed for robust and efficient hydraulic control. This direct-acting, balanced spool directional valve ensures a closed transition between positions, minimizing oil loss during shifting which is crucial in maintaining the efficiency of pilot control circuits. The valve's design allows for port 3 to be used as the inlet and port 1 as the tank, though it does support reverse flow; optimal performance under reverse conditions, however, is not assured. Engineered to handle a maximum operating pressure of 5000 psi (350 bar) and a flow capacity of up to 8 gpm (30 L/min), the DNCALCN223 meets demanding hydraulic specifications. It features a fast response time of approximately 50 ms and maintains tight leakage control with a maximum valve leakage at 3000 psi being only 10 in\u00b3/min. Its robust construction includes a fatigue-rated solenoid tube assembly suitable for service up to 5000 psi. The DNCALCN223 incorporates advanced design elements such as Sun's unique magnetic design that enhances solenoid efficiency and spool actuating force per watt expended. This results in reliable valve shifting even under stringent operational conditions. The wet armature design surrounds the armature with working fluid, beneficial for certain applications but requires consideration regarding fluid type due to potential heat exposure effects. For diverse application requirements, this model offers various coil termination and voltage options including configurations with surge protection. The coils are interchangeable with other Sun Series 1 solenoid products and can be mounted in either direction on the tube. Additional features like weatherized coils and kits provide further environmental protection. This model also benefits from Sun\u2019s floating style construction which minimizes internal parts binding \u2014 a common issue due to excessive installation torque or cavity/cartridge machining variations. With its comprehensive capabilities and configurable options, the DNCALCN223 provides a reliable solution for complex hydraulic systems requiring precise control and durability.
