The Sun Hydraulics DNDCXAE614 (DNDCXAE614) is a direct acting, solenoid-operated, 4-way, 3-position spool valve designed to be spring-centered to the neutral position. This valve offers precise flow control with its ability to direct flow from port 3 P to port 2 A and from port 4 B to port 1 T when coil A is energized. Conversely, when coil B is activated, the flow shifts from port 3 to port 4 and from port 2 to port 1. The solenoid tube assembly of this valve is fatigue-rated for service up to 5000 psi (350 bar), ensuring durability and reliability under high-pressure conditions. This model does not require a minimum hydraulic pressure for operation due to its direct actuation design. In systems with differential flow circuits, it is recommended that higher return flows are directed through port 2 A to port 1 T. Additionally, cartridges with EPDM seals are compatible with phosphate ester fluids but should avoid exposure to petroleum-based fluids as they can cause seal damage. The DNDCXAE614 features a wet armature design where the working fluid surrounds the armature, which can be affected by heat generated during extended coil energization periods. It's important for users to consider fluid compatibility as some fluids may degrade over time at elevated temperatures. A variety of coil termination and voltage options are available, including those with surge protection. The solenoid's magnetic design ensures high efficiency by providing significant spool actuating force per watt expended, leading to reliable valve shifting. Coils are interchangeable within Sun Series 1 solenoid products and can be mounted in either direction on the tube. This model also incorporates Sun\u2019s floating style construction which minimizes internal binding issues due to excessive installation torque or cavity/cartridge machining variations. With a capacity of up to 5 gpm (20 L/min) and capable of handling pressures up to 5000 psi (350 bar), this valve offers robust performance for various hydraulic applications.
