The Sun Hydraulics DNCAMTV236 (DNCAMTV236) is a solenoid-operated, 4-way, 2-position cartridge that functions as a direct-acting, balanced spool directional valve. It features a closed transition between positions, significantly reducing oil loss during shifting, which is particularly beneficial in pilot control circuits. This valve's capacity is optimized with port 3 as the inlet and port 1 as the tank; although reverse flow is possible, it may not guarantee the same performance and is not advisable. The solenoid tube assembly is fatigue rated for service up to 5000 psi (350 bar), ensuring robust performance under high pressure. Notably, this valve requires no minimum hydraulic pressure for operation due to its direct actuation. The DNCAMTV236 incorporates EPDM seals suitable for systems with phosphate ester fluids but should avoid exposure to petroleum-based fluids to prevent seal damage. Its wet armature design allows the working fluid to surround the armature, which can be critical when the coil remains energized for extended periods since some fluids may degrade at higher temperatures. The valve offers various coil termination and voltage options, including surge protection features. This model boasts a high-efficiency solenoid design that provides significant spool actuating force per watt expended, ensuring reliable valve shifting. Coils are interchangeable with other Sun Series 1 solenoid products and can be mounted in either direction on the tube. The coil connector options are rated up to IP69K for enhanced environmental protection. Additionally, it employs Sun's floating style construction to minimize internal part binding due to excessive installation torque or machining variations in the cavity/cartridge interface. With a capacity of 8 gpm (30 L/min), maximum operating pressure of 5000 psi (350 bar), and typical response time of 50 ms, this valve offers reliable performance in demanding applications. It supports a switching frequency of up to 15,000 cycles per hour and features manual override capabilities for added control flexibility.
