The Sun Hydraulics FTB (FTB) is a robust subplate designed for hydraulic systems, specifically featuring a P to T configuration with a manifold T port. This subplate is compatible with the ISO 03 interface and includes a single open cavity, T10A, which allows for efficient integration into hydraulic circuits. The body is constructed from durable 6061T651 aluminum, known for its excellent corrosion resistance and strength, making it suitable for various demanding applications. The port size of 3/8 NPTF ensures secure connections and compatibility with standard fittings. This particular model is engineered to be mounted on top of a reservoir, with the tank port accommodating a down pipe that extends below the oil level to maintain optimal fluid dynamics within the system. Additionally, the tank port and mounting holes are equipped with O-rings to ensure a reliable seal against the mounting surface, preventing leaks and maintaining system integrity. It is crucial to note that while this aluminum manifold offers substantial durability, it should not be subjected to pressures exceeding 3000 psi (210 bar). This pressure limitation is due to material constraints inherent in aluminum construction. Overall, the Sun Hydraulics FTB subplate provides an effective solution for managing hydraulic fluid flow in systems requiring reliable performance and ease of integration. Its design accommodates essential operational needs while adhering to safety standards related to pressure limitations.

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:

This subplate is designed to mount to the top of a reservoir. Tank is an NPTF port to accommodate a down pipe to drop the connection below the oil level. The tank port and mounting holes are supplied with O rings to seal to the mounting surface.
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.
