The Sun Hydraulics VDC (VDC) is a line mount manifold designed for hydraulic systems, featuring a cross port with gauge ports configuration. This manifold is crafted from 6061-T651 aluminum, known for its excellent corrosion resistance and moderate strength, making it a reliable choice for various applications. The body type is specifically designed for line mounting without any additional interface requirements. It includes two open cavities and accommodates a T-3A cavity type. The manifold features mounting holes with a diameter of 0.41 inches (10.4 mm) that go through the body, with two such holes available for secure attachment. Additionally, the port size is specified at 12 NPTF, suitable for standard hydraulic connections. This product does not undergo anodization due to several considerations including cost-effectiveness and maintaining consistency across large production volumes. The decision not to anodize also aids in avoiding potential issues related to fatigue life and increased torque during maintenance operations. However, the aluminum used provides sufficient corrosion resistance in most environments without the need for anodization. The Sun Hydraulics VDC manifold should be considered carefully concerning system pressure limitations; it is rated for pressures up to 3000 psi (210 bar), which aligns with the material capabilities of aluminum manifolds regardless of port size or type specified. This makes it suitable for use in various hydraulic applications where moderate pressure levels are anticipated, ensuring dependable performance while maintaining structural integrity over time.
