The Sun Hydraulics X2K (Material Number: X2K) is a dual cavity line mount manifold designed for efficient hydraulic system integration. This model features two open cavities and is compatible with the T-13A cavity type, providing versatility in hydraulic circuit design. The manifold is constructed from 6061-T651 aluminum, known for its strength, cost-effectiveness, and exceptional corrosion resistance, making it suitable for various demanding environments. With a mounting hole diameter of 0.34 inches (8.6 mm) and a through-hole depth, the X2K ensures secure installation with two mounting holes available. The port size is specified as SAE 8, allowing for seamless connectivity within hydraulic systems. The Sun Hydraulics X2K manifold does not undergo anodization due to several factors including cost considerations and the natural corrosion resistance of the 6061-T651 aluminum material used in its construction. Anodizing can reduce fatigue life by creating brittle surfaces that may initiate fatigue cracks under pressure. Therefore, the decision to forego anodization ensures longer-lasting performance in high-pressure applications up to 3000 psi (210 bar), which aligns with the maximum pressure rating for aluminum manifolds. This product finds application in hydraulic systems where reliability and durability are paramount, providing an effective solution for managing fluid flow between components while maintaining structural integrity under pressure. The design considerations incorporated into the Sun Hydraulics X2K make it a dependable choice for professionals seeking robust manifold solutions tailored to their specific hydraulic needs.

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.
