The Sun Hydraulics DNCADAN214N (DNCADAN214N) is a high-performance, solenoid-operated, 4-way, 2-position cartridge valve designed for efficient control in hydraulic systems. This direct-acting, balanced spool directional valve features a closed transition between positions, which significantly minimizes oil loss during shifting\u2014a critical feature in pilot control circuits. With a capacity of 8 gpm/30 L/min and a maximum operating pressure of 5000 psi/350 bar, the DNCADAN214N is built to handle demanding applications. Engineered for durability and performance, the valve's solenoid tube assembly is fatigue rated for high-pressure service at 5000 psi. It operates without requiring a minimum hydraulic pressure, making it versatile across various system conditions. The wet armature design of the valve ensures that the working fluid surrounds the armature which helps in heat management but requires consideration regarding fluid selection as some fluids may degrade under prolonged exposure to heat. Notably, this model uses EPDM seals configured specifically for systems utilizing phosphate ester fluids; however, these seals are susceptible to damage if exposed to petroleum-based fluids. For electrical integration and flexibility in application environments, the DNCADAN214N offers a variety of coil termination and voltage options including models with surge protection. The coils are interchangeable with other Sun Series 1 solenoid products and can be mounted in either direction on the tube. Additional features include an IP69K rating option for coil connectors ensuring robust performance even in harsh environmental conditions. The unique magnetic design of the solenoid results in high efficiency and reliable valve shifting by providing strong actuating force per watt expended. Furthermore, Sun\u2019s floating style construction incorporated into this model reduces risks related to internal parts binding due to installation or machining variations. This makes the DNCADAN214N an excellent choice for applications requiring precise control with dependable operation under varied conditions.
