The Sun Hydraulics VYJ (Material Number: VYJ) is a versatile hydraulic component designed for efficient fluid control in various systems. This model features a gasket mount body type with an interface compatible with Sun systems, making it suitable for direct mounting applications where cross pilot configurations are required. It includes two gasket ports and is engineered to fit into T-2A cavities. The VYJ model accommodates SAE 8 port sizes, ensuring compatibility with standard hydraulic fittings. The mounting design includes three through holes with a diameter of 0.41 inches (10.4 mm) and counterbore diameters of 0.59 inches (15.0 mm), allowing for secure installation in diverse setups. Constructed from 6061-T651 aluminum, the manifold offers excellent corrosion resistance, which is crucial for maintaining longevity and performance in harsh environments. This material choice also ensures that the product remains relatively strong while being cost-effective and available in various forms and sizes. However, it is important to note that manifolds made from aluminum are not rated for pressures exceeding 3000 psi (210 bar), regardless of port type or size. The Sun Hydraulics VYJ model is particularly advantageous in applications requiring reliable fluid management without the need for anodizing, as its natural corrosion resistance suffices under typical conditions. This product is ideal for use in systems where weight savings and cost-effectiveness are priorities without compromising on strength or durability. Additionally, its design facilitates easy integration into existing hydraulic systems due to its standardized dimensions and mounting features, making it a practical choice for engineers seeking efficient hydraulic solutions.

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.
