The Sun Hydraulics DNCAMBV936 (DNCAMBV936) is a solenoid-operated, 4-way, 2-position cartridge valve that features a direct-acting, balanced spool design. This directional valve is engineered to provide a closed transition between positions, significantly minimizing oil loss during shifting\u2014a critical feature for pilot control circuits. The valve's capacity is optimized with port 3 as the inlet and port 1 as the tank; however, reverse flow is possible but not recommended due to potential performance issues. The solenoid tube assembly of this valve is fatigue-rated for service pressures up to 5000 psi (350 bar), ensuring durability in demanding applications. Notably, the DNCAMBV936 operates without requiring minimum hydraulic pressure due to its direct actuation. This cartridge valve incorporates EPDM seals suitable for systems using phosphate ester fluids, while exposure to petroleum-based fluids can damage these seals. It utilizes a wet armature design where the working fluid surrounds the armature and absorbs heat generated by the coil\u2014an important consideration when the coil remains energized for extended periods. The high-efficiency solenoid design ensures reliable shifting with high spool actuating force per watt expended. With interchangeable coils compatible with other Sun Series 1 solenoid products, this model provides flexibility in installation and configuration. Coil connector options offer ratings up to IP69K for enhanced environmental protection, and additional weatherized coils are available. The valve's construction minimizes internal part binding due to excessive installation torque or machining variations in cavity/cartridge interfaces. Key specifications include an 8 gpm (30 L/min) capacity and a response time of approximately 50 ms. The model supports a maximum operating pressure of 5000 psi (350 bar) and has a leakage rate of 10 in\u00b3/min at 3000 psi (160 cc/min at 210 bar). Its switching frequency reaches up to 15,000 cycles per hour, with manual override capabilities requiring minimal force and stroke distance.
