The Sun Hydraulics FCB (Material Number: FCB) is an inline line mount manifold designed for hydraulic systems requiring efficient fluid management. This manifold features a body type that accommodates an inline interface, which simplifies installation and integration into existing systems. It includes a mounting hole diameter of 0.34 inches (8.6 mm) with through-hole depth, allowing for secure and stable mounting with a total of 11 mounting holes. The manifold is constructed with T10A cavity and supports a port size of 3/8 NPTF, making it suitable for various hydraulic applications that necessitate reliable fluid flow control. The FCB manifold is crafted from 6061-T651 aluminum, known for its excellent corrosion resistance and strength, making it ideal for use in environments where durability is essential. This material choice ensures the manifold can withstand pressures up to 3000 psi (210 bar), provided the system pressure considerations are carefully managed according to the manifold's material limitations. This product does not undergo anodization due to several factors, including cost efficiency and maintaining the integrity of its fatigue life. Anodizing could potentially introduce fatigue cracks due to the brittle surface it creates on aluminum, thereby reducing the component's lifespan under pressurized conditions. Overall, the Sun Hydraulics FCB manifold provides a robust solution for hydraulic systems requiring high flow valve integration while ensuring longevity and performance without compromising on material integrity or system compatibility.

Show FAQ

How big is a drop of hydraulic oil?	There are exactly 250 Sun drops in a cubic inch or 15 in a cc.
Why does Sun use 6061 aluminum?	6061-T651 is relatively strong, relatively inexpensive, difficult to machine, readily available in all shapes and sizes and very corrosion resistant. 2024 is stronger and machines beautifully, but is expensive and falls to pieces in a corrosive environment.
Why doesn't Sun anodize their aluminum bodies?	Reasons to anodize: To increase corrosion resistance. Sun uses 6061-T651 aluminum. It is one of the most corrosion resistant aluminum alloys there is. Whether or not anodizing improves the corrosion resistance of 6061 aluminum is debatable. We have yet to have a manifold returned because of corrosion. Appearance (color). The 2 colors that would appeal to Sun would be blue or black. Unfortunately these are the colors that are hardest to do consistently. To provide a hard wear surface. Sun does not make parts-in-body valves. The manifold is just plumbing. We don't need a wear surface. Because everyone else does it. Bad reason. Reasons to not anodize: Cost. It's another process. Logistics. When you make tens of thousands of manifolds a month and you anodize hundreds, it's a problem. Consistency. See above. Stamping. After a body is anodized you cannot do any more stamping without making a mess.Inspection. Have you ever tried to look for burrs in a black anodized body? It's the old blackboard factory at night scenario. Torque. You will experience an increase in breakaway torque when removing items from an anodized manifold. Fatigue life. This is the best reason to not anodize. Fatigue failure is a very complex phenomenon. What it takes to initiate a crack is difficult to predict. What it takes to propagate a crack is readily defined. Anodizing produces a very thin, very hard, and very brittle surface on aluminum. The first time you pressurize an anodized aluminum manifold you have initiated fatigue cracks. Whether or not the stress is enough to propagate the cracks is a matter of pressure and manifold geometry. Anodizing an aluminum manifold grossly reduces the fatigue life by anywhere from 20% to 50%.

Notes:

Important: Carefully consider the maximum system pressure. The pressure rating of the manifold is dependent on the manifold material, with the port type/size a secondary consideration. Manifolds constructed of aluminum are not rated for pressures higher than 3000 psi (210 bar), regardless of the port type/size specified.
