The Sun Hydraulics ZHP (Material Number: ZHP) is a robust subplate designed for hydraulic systems, featuring an ISO 05 XY Euro interface. This subplate is crafted with 6061-T651 aluminum, known for its strength and corrosion resistance, making it ideal for demanding environments. The ZHP model accommodates a P to T configuration with side ports and includes four mounting holes with a diameter of 0.44 inches (11.1 mm), offering through-hole depth for secure installation. It supports one open cavity and uses a T10A cavity port size of 12 NPTF, ensuring compatibility with various hydraulic components. This subplate's design is optimized for efficient fluid management in hydraulic circuits, providing reliable connections between different system components. Its construction ensures durability and longevity, even in high-pressure applications up to 3000 psi (210 bar), though users should consider the maximum system pressure carefully based on the manifold material. The ZHP's straightforward design makes it suitable for integration into a wide range of hydraulic applications where space and weight considerations are crucial. By utilizing high-quality materials and precise manufacturing processes, the Sun Hydraulics ZHP subplate offers exceptional performance without the need for additional surface treatments like anodizing, which can affect fatigue life negatively. This makes it an excellent choice for applications requiring consistent performance and reliability over time.

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.
