The Sun Hydraulics XVQ (Material Number: XVQ) is a line mount manifold designed for direct mounting with cross pilot capabilities and features two gasket ports. It is constructed with 6061T651 aluminum, known for its strength, cost-effectiveness, and excellent corrosion resistance. The manifold accommodates a mounting hole diameter of 0.42 inches (10.7 mm) with a through-hole depth and a c'bore diameter of 0.59 inches (15.0 mm), allowing for secure installation with three mounting holes available. The XVQ model supports two open cavities compatible with the T-11A cavity size and has port sizes of 3/8 BSPP, making it suitable for various hydraulic applications. This manifold is engineered to handle pressures up to 3000 psi (210 bar), contingent upon the material's properties and port size considerations, ensuring reliability in demanding environments. The choice of not anodizing the aluminum body further enhances its fatigue life by avoiding potential crack propagation that could occur under pressurized conditions typical in hydraulic systems. The Sun Hydraulics XVQ manifold is ideal for applications requiring efficient fluid control within hydraulic systems, offering robust performance due to its precise design specifications and material selection. Its compatibility with high-flow valves and cartridge cavities makes it a versatile component in fluid power solutions, providing seamless integration into existing setups while maintaining optimal functionality.

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.
