The Sun Hydraulics ZVN (Material Number: ZVN) is a specialized hydraulic component designed for line mount applications. This product features a direct mount body type with a special 2-bolt interface, ensuring secure and stable installation. It accommodates up to 22 mounting holes, each with a diameter of .41 inches (10.4 mm), allowing for versatile and robust attachment options. The ZVN model is equipped with one open cavity, designated as T11A, and supports an SAE 8 port size, making it compatible with various hydraulic systems that require precise fluid control. Crafted from 6061T651 aluminum, the ZVN boasts excellent corrosion resistance and structural integrity, making it suitable for demanding environments without the need for anodizing. This choice of material strikes a balance between strength and cost-effectiveness while being readily available in diverse shapes and sizes. The decision against anodizing further enhances its fatigue life by preventing potential crack initiation under pressure. The Sun Hydraulics ZVN is ideal for applications where reliability and durability are paramount, offering seamless integration into existing hydraulic setups due to its standardized port size and mounting configuration. Its design prioritizes longevity and performance in harsh conditions, supported by the inherent properties of the 6061 aluminum alloy used in its construction.

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%.
