The Sun Hydraulics XPU (Material Number: XPU) is a line mount manifold designed for hydraulic systems, featuring a cross pilot with common port 4s body type. It is engineered to accommodate two open cavities and uses the T-21A cavity specification. The manifold's interface is none, indicating it serves as a standalone component without integrated valve functionality. It includes a mounting hole diameter of .34 inches (8.6 mm) with two through holes for secure installation. The port size is specified as 3/8 BSPP, which is suitable for various hydraulic applications requiring reliable fluid connections. Manufactured from 6061T651 aluminum, this manifold provides excellent corrosion resistance and mechanical strength while maintaining cost-effectiveness. The use of this specific aluminum alloy ensures durability in demanding environments and prevents degradation due to corrosive elements. The decision not to anodize the aluminum body further preserves its fatigue life by avoiding potential cracks that anodizing might introduce. The Sun Hydraulics XPU manifold is ideal for high-flow valve applications where robust and efficient fluid management is required. It supports quick integration into existing systems due to its straightforward design and compatibility with standard hydraulic components. Users should note that manifolds constructed from aluminum are not rated for pressures exceeding 3000 psi (210 bar), emphasizing the importance of considering maximum system pressure during application planning. Overall, the Sun Hydraulics XPU provides a reliable and efficient solution for managing hydraulic flows in various industrial settings, ensuring optimal performance while maintaining structural integrity under specified conditions.

Show FAQ

How big is a drop of hydraulic oil?	There are exactly 250 Sun drops in a cubic inch or 15 in a cc.
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%.

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.
