The Sun Hydraulics 3BD (Material Number: 3BD) is a specialized hydraulic line mount body designed for applications requiring a cushion lock with shuttle feature. This component is crafted from high-quality 6061T651 aluminum, known for its excellent corrosion resistance and structural integrity. The body features a line mount interface with no additional interface requirements, making it versatile for various hydraulic systems. It includes two open cavities compatible with the T2A cavity type and accommodates 34 NPTF port sizes, ensuring compatibility with standard hydraulic fittings. The mounting configuration of the Sun Hydraulics 3BD includes two through holes with a diameter of .41 inches (10.4 mm), allowing for secure installation in hydraulic systems. With its robust design, this body type is optimal for demanding environments where reliability and durability are paramount. The decision not to anodize the aluminum body enhances its fatigue life by avoiding the introduction of potential stress points that could lead to cracks under pressure. This product is ideal for use in systems where precise control and reliability are required, offering efficient fluid management solutions in hydraulic circuits. Its design ensures minimal maintenance while providing maximum performance, making it a valuable addition to any hydraulic system setup requiring specific cushioning and locking capabilities.

Show FAQ

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%.
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.
