The Sun Hydraulics FAU (FAU) is a line mount manifold designed for hydraulic systems, featuring a ninety-degree body type with no specific interface. It is constructed with 6061-T651 aluminum, known for its strength, cost-effectiveness, and exceptional corrosion resistance. The manifold includes one mounting hole with a diameter of 0.34 inches (8.6 mm) that goes through the body, providing ease of installation and stability in various applications. This model is equipped with an open cavity type T-10A and a port size of 3/8 BSPP, ensuring compatibility with standard hydraulic components. The FAU manifold's design emphasizes durability and functionality without the need for anodizing, which can increase costs and reduce fatigue life due to the brittle surface it creates on aluminum. The decision not to anodize also aids in maintaining consistent manufacturing processes and simplifies quality inspections by avoiding issues like increased breakaway torque or difficulty in detecting burrs. This product is ideally suited for applications requiring robust hydraulic plumbing solutions where corrosion resistance is critical but high-pressure ratings are not necessary, as it supports pressures up to 3000 psi (210 bar). Its efficient design makes it suitable for quick integration into existing systems or new designs using Sun's cartridge cavities.
