The Sun Hydraulics NMB (Material Number: NMB) is a line mount manifold designed for hydraulic systems, featuring a ninety-degree body type that facilitates efficient fluid routing. This manifold accommodates two mounting holes with a diameter of 0.34 inches (8.6 mm) and through-hole depth, ensuring secure installation in various configurations. It is equipped with a single open cavity compatible with the T-32A cavity specification, and its port size is 3/8 NPTF, making it suitable for diverse hydraulic applications where precise fluid control is required. Constructed from 6061-T651 aluminum, the NMB manifold offers excellent corrosion resistance while maintaining structural integrity under pressure conditions up to 3000 psi (210 bar). Its robust design ensures reliable performance in demanding environments. The choice of material also provides an optimal balance between strength and machinability, making it a cost-effective solution for hydraulic systems. The manifold's design does not include anodizing, which helps maintain the material's fatigue life by avoiding the potential crack initiation associated with anodized surfaces. This choice enhances the longevity of the component under cyclic loading conditions typical in hydraulic operations. Overall, the Sun Hydraulics NMB manifold is engineered to provide durable and efficient performance in hydraulic applications requiring reliable fluid distribution and management. Its construction supports high-flow valves and integrates seamlessly into complex hydraulic circuits, making it an essential component for achieving optimal system functionality.

Show FAQ

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%.
How big is a drop of hydraulic oil?	There are exactly 250 Sun drops in a cubic inch or 15 in a cc.

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.
