The Sun Hydraulics DNDCXCE636 (Material Number: DNDCXCE636) is a direct-acting, solenoid-operated, 4-way, 3-position spool valve designed for precise hydraulic control applications. This valve is spring-centered to a neutral position and features a robust solenoid tube assembly rated for service pressures up to 5000 psi (350 bar). It operates without the need for minimum hydraulic pressure, making it highly versatile in differential flow circuits. When coil A is energized, the flow path directs from port 3 P to port 2 A and from port 4 B to port 1 T. Conversely, energizing coil B redirects the flow from port 3 to port 4 and from port 2 to port 1. The DNDCXCE636 utilizes a wet armature design that allows the working fluid to surround the armature, which can impact performance if exposed to prolonged heat generated by the coil. Notably, fluids such as water-glycol mixtures may degrade over time under these conditions. The valve offers various coil termination and voltage options with potential surge protection. Its high-efficiency solenoid design ensures reliable shifting with minimal energy expenditure. Compatible with other Sun Series 1 solenoid products, the coils can be mounted in either direction on the tube and provide IP69K-rated connector options for enhanced environmental protection. The valve's floating style construction minimizes internal component binding due to installation torque or machining variations. With a capacity of handling up to 5 gpm (20 L/min) and a typical response time of approximately 50 ms, this valve is engineered for high-frequency switching applications up to 15,000 cycles per hour. The maximum leakage rate is specified at 10 in\u00b3/min (160 cc/min) at a pressure of 3000 psi (210 bar). For maintenance or replacement, Viton seal kits are available under part numbers: Viton: 990431006 for cartridges and Viton: 990770006 for coils.

This direct acting, solenoid-operated, 4-way, 3-position spool valve is spring centered to the neutral position. When coil A is energized, the flow is from port 3 (P) to port 2 (A) and from port 4 (B) to port 1 (T). When coil B is energized, the flow is from port 3 to port 4 and from port 2 to port 1.

  • The solenoid tube assembly is fatigue rated for 5000 psi (350 bar) service.
  • This valve is direct actuated and requires no minimum hydraulic pressure for operation.
  • In differential flow circuits, the higher return flow should be directed through port 2 (A) to port 1 (T).
  • Cartridges 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.
  • A wide variety of coil termination and voltage options are available, with and without surge protection. See the CONFIGURATION section.
  • The solenoid's unique magnetic design results in a high efficiency solenoid, yielding high spool actuating force per Watt expended, leading to reliable valve shifting.
  • Coils are interchangeable with other Sun Series 1 solenoid products and can be mounted on the tube in either direction.
  • Coil connector options offer ratings up to IP69K. See individual coil product pages for details. Additional weatherized coils and kits are available for more complete environmental protection.
  • 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.
