The Sun Hydraulics DNCAMZN536 (DNCAMZN536) is a solenoid-operated, 4-way, 2-position cartridge valve featuring a direct-acting, balanced spool design. This directional valve is engineered with a closed transition between positions to significantly minimize oil loss during shifting, making it particularly advantageous for pilot control circuits. The valve's capacity is optimized with port 3 as the inlet and port 1 as the tank; although reverse flow is feasible, optimal performance in such configurations is not assured. It boasts a solenoid tube assembly fatigue rated for up to 5000 psi (350 bar), ensuring durability and reliability under high-pressure conditions. Notably, this valve operates without requiring minimum hydraulic pressure due to its direct-actuated nature. The DNCAMZN536 incorporates EPDM seals suitable for systems utilizing phosphate ester fluids but should avoid exposure to petroleum-based substances which could damage the seals. It features a wet armature design where the working fluid surrounds the armature, potentially impacting performance if exposed to prolonged coil energization and elevated temperatures. This could lead to fluid breakdown in certain mixtures like water-glycol over time. With high-efficiency solenoid magnetic design, this valve achieves substantial spool actuating force per watt expended, ensuring dependable operation. The interchangeable coils are compatible with other Sun Series 1 solenoid products and offer various termination and voltage options with ratings up to IP69K for enhanced environmental protection. The valve's construction minimizes internal part binding risks due to excessive installation torque or machining variations. With a capacity of 8 gpm (30 L/min) and maximum operating pressure of 5000 psi (350 bar), it offers rapid response times of approximately 50 ms and supports switching frequencies up to 15,000 cycles/hr. The product weighs .60 lb (.30 kg) with Viton seal kits available for maintenance needs.
