The Sun Hydraulics ZBP (Material Number: ZBP) is a versatile hydraulic manifold designed for efficient fluid control in various applications. This line mount body features a 1.50 SAE C61 interface and is crafted for sandwich mount through port configurations, providing seamless integration into existing hydraulic systems. With an open cavity of type 11C and a T16A cavity, the ZBP model ensures compatibility with standard hydraulic components, making it a reliable choice for system designers. The manifold includes ports sized at 1 1/2 Code 61, facilitating high-flow operations while maintaining structural integrity under pressure conditions up to 3000 psi (210 bar), which is the maximum allowable pressure for aluminum manifolds used in hydraulic systems. Constructed from durable 6061-T651 aluminum, the ZBP model offers excellent corrosion resistance without the need for anodizing, ensuring longevity and reducing maintenance costs over time. The decision not to anodize also preserves the fatigue life of the manifold, preventing potential cracks that could arise from anodizing processes. This makes it particularly suitable for demanding environments where reliability and durability are crucial. The Sun Hydraulics ZBP manifold is ideal for use in high-flow valve applications and can be customized through Sun's QuickDesign tool with SmartConnect technology, allowing users to create tailored solutions efficiently. Its robust design and adaptability make it an excellent choice for engineers seeking dependable performance in hydraulic systems across various sectors requiring precise fluid management.

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.
