The Sun Hydraulics DNCALJN812N (DNCALJN812N) 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 features a closed transition between positions, significantly minimizing the loss of oil during shifting\u2014particularly crucial in pilot control circuits. The DNCALJN812N is engineered to operate without minimum hydraulic pressure, enhancing its versatility in various applications. With a capacity of 8 gpm/30 L/min based on port 3 as the inlet and port 1 as the tank, this valve also supports reverse flow, although optimal performance in this mode isn't guaranteed. It incorporates a fatigue-rated solenoid tube assembly capable of handling up to 5000 psi (350 bar), ensuring durability under high-pressure conditions. The valve's response time is notably quick at approximately 50 ms, and it can handle a maximum operating pressure of up to 5000 psi (350 bar). This model is equipped with EPDM seals suitable for systems using phosphate ester fluids; however, exposure to petroleum-based fluids should be avoided as it can damage the seals. The wet armature design allows the working fluid to surround the armature, which may affect fluid integrity if exposed to heat over extended periods. A variety of coil termination and voltage options are available for this model, enhancing its adaptability across different systems. Additionally, Sun Hydraulics' unique magnetic design within the solenoid results in high efficiency and reliable valve shifting due to the high spool actuating force per watt expended. The DNCALJN812N also benefits from Sun's floating style construction which minimizes internal parts binding\u2014a common issue due to excessive installation torque or cavity/cartridge machining variations. This model\u2019s robust build and versatile design make it an excellent choice for demanding hydraulic applications requiring precise control and reliability.
