The Sun Hydraulics DNCAMBN212 (DNCAMBN212) is a solenoid-operated, 4-way, 2-position cartridge valve designed for direct-acting, balanced spool directional control. This valve features a closed transition between positions, significantly reducing oil loss during shifting, which is particularly beneficial in pilot control circuits. The valve's capacity is optimized with port 3 as the inlet and port 1 as the tank; reverse flow is possible but not recommended due to potential performance variations. It operates without requiring minimum hydraulic pressure and incorporates a fatigue-rated solenoid tube assembly for up to 5000 psi service. The direct-actuated design features EPDM seals suitable for systems using phosphate ester fluids while avoiding petroleum-based fluids to prevent seal damage. Utilizing a wet armature design, this valve ensures that working fluid surrounds the armature, which may affect function if exposed to high temperatures over prolonged periods. A variety of coil termination and voltage options are available, including surge protection capabilities. The high-efficiency solenoid delivers substantial spool actuating force per watt expended, ensuring reliable valve operation. Coils are interchangeable with other Sun Series 1 products and can be mounted bidirectionally on the tube. Coil connector options provide ratings up to IP69K for enhanced environmental protection. Additionally, the valve's floating style construction helps prevent internal part binding due to excessive installation torque or cavity-cartridge machining variations. With a capacity of 8 gpm (30 L/min) and maximum operating pressure of 5000 psi (350 bar), this model supports a switching frequency of up to 15,000 cycles per hour and manual override capabilities with specified force requirements and stroke lengths. The DNCAMBN212 is designed for robust performance in demanding applications with its versatile configurations and reliable operation under various conditions.
