The Sun Hydraulics DMDALPN (DMDALPN) is a high-performance solenoid-operated 3-way, 2-position cartridge valve, designed for direct-acting and balanced spool directional control. This model is particularly noted for its robust construction which includes a fatigue-rated solenoid tube assembly suitable for up to 5000 psi or 350 bar service. The valve features closed transitions between Spools B and R, enhancing performance by ensuring faster and more consistent response times, ideal for applications requiring precise control such as in pilot operations where capacity is less critical. Engineered with a wet armature design, the DMDALPN allows the working fluid to surround the armature which helps in managing the heat generated by the coil. However, this design consideration means that it's crucial to select appropriate fluids; for instance, water-glycol mixtures might degrade under prolonged exposure to high temperatures. It\u2019s also equipped with EPDM seals suitable for systems using phosphate ester fluids but incompatible with petroleum-based fluids which could damage these seals. With a maximum operating capacity of 12 gpm (45 L/min) and quick response times typically around 50 ms, this valve ensures efficient flow control in your hydraulic systems. It supports a maximum switching frequency of 15000 cycles/hr and can handle maximum valve leakage at 110 SUS (24 cSt) up to 5 in\u00b3/min at 3000 psi (80 cc/min at 210 bar). For maintenance or manual operation, it includes a manual override feature requiring minimal force. The DMDALPN also benefits from Sun Hydraulics' floating style construction which minimizes internal parts binding\u2014this feature is critical in installations where there might be variations in cavity or cartridge machining. This model is compatible with other Sun Series 1 solenoid products concerning coil interchangeability and can be mounted on the tube in either direction to suit various installation requirements.

This solenoid-operated 3-way, 2-position cartridge is a direct-acting, balanced spool directional valve.

  • The solenoid tube assembly is fatigue rated for 5000 psi (350 bar) service.
  • Spools B and R are closed in the transition between their two positions. This results in a higher performance limit at the expense of lower capacity. When used as pilot controls, where capacity is not a factor, the closed transition will provide faster and more consistent response times.
  • This valve is direct actuated and requires no minimum hydraulic pressure for operation.
  • On models equipped with the D or L control, the detent mechanism in the manual override is meant for temporary actuation. The D, L and T manual control assembly has a mechanical life expectancy of approximately 7,000 cycles.
  • Cartridges configured with EPDM seals are for use in systems with phosphate ester fluids. Exposure to petroleum based fluids, greases and lubricants will damage the seals.
  • This valve utilizes a wet armature design. This means that the working fluid surrounds the armature and is exposed to the heat generated by the coil. This can be a factor if the coil is energized for long periods of time. Some fluids, notably water/glycol mixtures, break down at these temperatures over time and form varnishes that will affect the function of the cartridge.
  • Coils are interchangeable with other Sun Series 1 solenoid products and can be mounted on the tube in either direction.
  • Incorporates the Sun floating style construction to minimize the possibility of internal parts binding due to excessive installation torque and/or cavity/cartridge machining variations.
