The Sun Hydraulics X4A (Material Number: X4A) is a line mount hydraulic manifold designed for efficient flow management in hydraulic systems. This model features a banjo bolt interface with a through port 3 design, allowing for streamlined fluid passage. The installation torque for the banjo bolt ranges from 33 lb. ft. to 36 lb. ft. (45 Nm to 49 Nm), which ensures secure and reliable assembly. The manifold includes open cavities of type T-163A and accommodates a port size of 14 BSPP, making it compatible with various hydraulic configurations. Constructed from 6061-T651 aluminum, this manifold offers excellent corrosion resistance and durability, ensuring long-lasting performance in demanding environments. The choice of material also provides a balance between strength and cost-effectiveness, although these manifolds are not anodized to maintain consistency and manage production logistics effectively. The Sun Hydraulics X4A manifold is ideal for applications requiring robust fluid control without exceeding system pressures of 3000 psi (210 bar), as the aluminum construction limits its pressure rating within these parameters. This makes it suitable for moderate-pressure systems where reliability and ease of installation are paramount. Overall, the Sun Hydraulics X4A model is a versatile component that meets the needs of various hydraulic systems by offering dependable performance and compatibility with high-flow valves, all while maintaining structural integrity under specified conditions.

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.
