The Sun Hydraulics WVM (WVM) is a line mount manifold designed for use in hydraulic systems. It features a through port body type, with no specific interface, allowing it to be versatile in various applications. The manifold is constructed with two mounting holes threaded at .250-20 UNC 2B, each with a depth of .50 inches (12.7 mm), and includes one open cavity designed for T-3A cartridges. It accommodates SAE 12 port sizes, making it compatible with standard hydraulic fittings and connections. This manifold is made from 6061-T651 aluminum, chosen for its strength, cost-effectiveness, machinability, availability in various shapes and sizes, and exceptional corrosion resistance. Despite the common industry practice of anodizing aluminum components to enhance corrosion resistance and appearance, Sun Hydraulics opts not to anodize their manifolds due to several reasons including cost considerations and potential negative impacts on fatigue life. The WVM manifold's design ensures reliable performance within hydraulic systems operating under pressures up to 3000 psi (210 bar). Users should take care to consider the maximum system pressure as it relates to the manifold material when integrating this component into their hydraulic setups. The absence of anodizing means that while the surface may not have enhanced wear resistance or color variation, the fatigue life of the component remains optimal for its intended use. Overall, the Sun Hydraulics WVM is a robust choice for hydraulic applications requiring dependable performance without additional surface treatment processes that could compromise its longevity under pressure.
