The Sun Hydraulics A3W (A3W) is a versatile manifold designed for use with solenoid-operated and electroproportional cartridges. This line-mount body type incorporates additional material around the cavity to ensure coil clearance and includes the necessary spotface for Sun's weatherized coils. The manifold features a ninety-degree configuration that accommodates both standard and weatherized coils, making it adaptable to various hydraulic applications. It includes 11 mounting holes, each with a diameter of 0.34 inches (8.6 mm) and depth through the body, providing robust support for secure installation. The manifold has 11 open cavities, all fitting the T13A cavity specification, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of cartridge designs. The port size of this manifold is 34 BSPP, which is commonly used in hydraulic systems for efficient fluid transfer. Manufactured from 6061T651 aluminum, known for its strength, cost-effectiveness, machinability, availability in diverse forms, and excellent corrosion resistance without anodizing, this material choice ensures durability in demanding environments. The design considerations ensure that the A3W manifold can be reliably used across various hydraulic setups where solenoid-operated or electroproportional control is required. This product does not undergo anodization due to several factors such as cost implications and potential issues like increased breakaway torque or reduced fatigue life associated with anodized surfaces on aluminum manifolds. Instead, it relies on the inherent corrosion-resistant properties of 6061T651 aluminum to maintain performance over time without additional surface treatment processes. This makes the Sun Hydraulics A3W manifold an efficient choice for engineers seeking reliable hydraulic components capable of accommodating diverse cartridge configurations while maintaining structural integrity in various operating conditions.
