The Sun Hydraulics ZQW (ZQW) is a specialized hydraulic manifold designed for direct line mounting with a unique 2-bolt interface. This manifold features a gauge port that includes a .031 inch (0.8 mm) diameter orifice, which aids in precise flow control and pressure measurement. It is constructed from 6061T651 aluminum, known for its excellent corrosion resistance and adequate strength, making it suitable for environments where corrosion might be a concern. The manifold's body has been designed without anodizing to maintain cost efficiency and avoid potential issues related to fatigue life and breakaway torque. The ZQW model incorporates several practical design elements, such as two mounting holes with diameters of .53 inches (13.5 mm) and counterbore diameters of .78 inches (19.8 mm), each with a depth of .50 inches (12.7 mm). These features facilitate easy installation and secure attachment in various hydraulic systems. The manifold accommodates one open cavity type T17A and is compatible with SAE 16 port sizes, ensuring versatility in connecting different components within a hydraulic circuit. This manifold is particularly useful in applications requiring robust yet lightweight components capable of handling pressures up to 3000 psi (210 bar). Its design allows for efficient integration into existing systems while providing reliable performance without the need for additional surface treatments like anodizing. The Sun Hydraulics ZQW model is an ideal choice for those seeking durable and straightforward solutions in hydraulic system design, offering the benefits of corrosion resistance without compromising on structural integrity or ease of use.

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.
