The Sun Hydraulics VFX/Y (Material Number: VFX/Y) is a versatile hydraulic component designed for direct mounting with cross pilot capabilities. It features a gasket mount interface and is constructed to fit a T-23A cavity. The body of this component is designed for durability and ease of installation, with two mounting holes that have a diameter of 0.53 inches and are drilled through the body to accommodate various configurations. The mounting hole counterbore has a diameter of 0.78 inches and a depth of 0.47 inches, ensuring secure attachment in applications requiring robust hydraulic solutions. This model is equipped with one open cavity, making it suitable for various hydraulic setups that require direct flow management and control. The VFX/Y model is crafted from high-quality materials, ensuring long-lasting performance even in demanding environments. Its construction supports efficient hydraulic operations by facilitating optimal flow control within systems up to 3000 psi (210 bar), which is crucial for maintaining system integrity under high-pressure conditions. This product's design focuses on providing reliable service without the need for anodizing, which avoids potential issues related to fatigue life reduction commonly associated with anodized aluminum manifolds. This hydraulic component is ideal for applications where precise fluid control and reliability are paramount, such as in mobile and industrial machinery that require consistent performance under varying operational demands. The Sun Hydraulics VFX/Y offers an effective solution for engineers seeking dependable components capable of integrating seamlessly into complex hydraulic systems while maintaining structural integrity over extended periods of use.

Show FAQ

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.
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%.

Notes:

Important: Carefully consider the maximum system pressure. The pressure rating of the manifold is dependent on the manifold material, with the port type/size a secondary consideration. Manifolds constructed of aluminum are not rated for pressures higher than 3000 psi (210 bar), regardless of the port type/size specified.
