The Sun Hydraulics DNCAMZV614 (DNCAMZV614) is a solenoid-operated, 4-way, 2-position cartridge valve featuring a direct-acting, balanced spool directional design. This model is engineered with a closed transition between positions to significantly reduce 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. Although reverse flow is possible, it does not guarantee the same performance and is not advised. The solenoid tube assembly of this valve is fatigue-rated for service pressures up to 5000 psi (350 bar), ensuring durability under demanding conditions. This direct-actuated valve requires no minimum hydraulic pressure for operation and incorporates EPDM seals suitable for systems using phosphate ester fluids. However, these seals are vulnerable to damage when exposed to petroleum-based fluids, greases, or lubricants. The wet armature design allows the working fluid to surround the armature, which may be affected by heat generated by prolonged coil energization. This aspect should be considered when using fluids like water-glycol mixtures that degrade at high temperatures. The DNCAMZV614 offers a variety of coil termination and voltage options, including models with surge protection. Its unique magnetic design enhances efficiency by delivering high spool actuating force per watt expended. Coils are interchangeable with other Sun Series 1 solenoid products and can be mounted bidirectionally on the tube. Additionally, coil connector options provide ratings up to IP69K for robust environmental protection. This model employs Sun's floating style construction to minimize internal part binding from excessive installation torque or cavity/cartridge machining variations. With a capacity of 8 gpm (30 L/min) and a maximum operating pressure of 5000 psi (350 bar), this valve supports applications requiring rapid response times and high switching frequencies up to 15,000 cycles per hour.
