The Sun Hydraulics ZWN (Material Number: ZWN) is a versatile manifold designed for hydraulic systems, featuring a robust construction ideal for various mounting applications. This line mount body type manifold includes both threaded mounting holes for panel mounting and through holes to meet diverse installation requirements. The manifold's body is constructed with 6061-T651 aluminum, known for its strength, cost-effectiveness, and excellent corrosion resistance. It features a ninety-degree body configuration and accommodates eleven open cavities with T-2A cavities. The port size is specified at 3/8 NPTF, suitable for standard hydraulic fittings. With a total of two mounting holes, each having a diameter of .41 inches (10.4 mm) and threaded with .250-20 UNC 2B in., this manifold ensures secure attachment in demanding environments. The depth of the mounting holes is .38 inches (9.7 mm), providing adequate support for the system components it integrates with. Designed to handle pressures up to 3000 psi (210 bar), the Sun Hydraulics ZWN manifold must be carefully matched with system pressure requirements, considering that aluminum manifolds have specific pressure limitations regardless of port size or type. This product does not undergo anodization due to various reasons including cost implications and potential negative impacts on fatigue life, ensuring that it maintains durability without compromising on structural integrity. This manifold is particularly suited for high flow valve applications and can be integrated into custom hydraulic systems using Sun's comprehensive design tools such as QuickDesign with SmartConnect. These features make it an ideal choice for those seeking reliable performance in fluid control applications while ensuring ease of integration into existing systems.

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.
