The Sun Hydraulics DNCAMLV912 (DNCAMLV912) is a solenoid-operated, 4-way, 2-position cartridge directional valve designed for efficient fluid control in hydraulic systems. This direct-acting, balanced spool valve features a closed transition between positions, significantly reducing oil loss during shifting\u2014an essential aspect for 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 degradation. The solenoid tube assembly is engineered for high durability with a fatigue rating of up to 5000 psi (350 bar). This valve operates without requiring minimum hydraulic pressure and utilizes EPDM seals suitable for phosphate ester fluids while avoiding petroleum-based fluids. Its wet armature design allows the working fluid to surround and cool the armature, though it may affect certain fluid types over prolonged coil energization. The DNCAMLV912 offers various coil termination and voltage options, including surge protection capabilities, enhancing its adaptability in different applications. Its high-efficiency solenoid ensures reliable operation by providing substantial spool actuating force per watt expended. Coils are interchangeable with other Sun Series 1 products and can be mounted in either direction on the tube. For environmental resilience, coil connector options boast ratings up to IP69K, with additional weatherized solutions available. Constructed using Sun's floating style design, this cartridge minimizes internal part binding risks caused by excessive installation torque or machining variations within cavities. With a capacity of 8 gpm (30 L/min) and a maximum operating pressure of 5000 psi (350 bar), this valve delivers rapid response times of approximately 50 ms and supports a switching frequency of up to 15,000 cycles per hour. The DNCAMLV912 comes equipped with Viton seal kits for both cartridge and coil components to ensure robust sealing performance under challenging conditions.
