The Sun Hydraulics DNCADCV214N (DNCADCV214N) is a high-performance, solenoid-operated, 4-way, 2-position cartridge valve designed for precise control in hydraulic systems. This direct-acting, balanced spool directional valve features a closed transition between positions, which minimizes the loss of oil during shifting\u2014an essential feature for maintaining efficiency in pilot control circuits. Notably, the DNCADCV214N operates effectively without any minimum hydraulic pressure requirement. The valve's construction includes an innovative solenoid tube assembly that is fatigue rated for demanding 5000 psi (350 bar) service conditions. Its wet armature design allows the working fluid to surround the armature, which is beneficial for heat dissipation but requires consideration of fluid type due to potential breakdown and varnish formation under prolonged heat exposure. The DNCADCV214N is compatible with EPDM seals specifically configured for phosphate ester fluids; however, these seals must avoid contact with petroleum-based fluids. Functionally versatile, this model offers a maximum flow capacity of 8 gpm (30 L/min) and supports a maximum operating pressure of 5000 psi (350 bar). The rapid response time of approximately 50 ms and switching frequency up to 15,000 cycles per hour make this valve suitable for applications requiring frequent and reliable actuation. Additionally, it incorporates Sun's floating style construction which reduces risks associated with internal parts binding due to installation variances or cavity/cartridge machining inconsistencies. For further customization and environmental resilience, the DNCADCV214N provides a range of coil termination and voltage options including designs with surge protection and weatherized kits for enhanced protection against harsh conditions. The coils are interchangeable with other Sun Series 1 solenoid products and can be mounted in either direction on the tube to accommodate different system configurations.
