The Sun Hydraulics Z2Q (Material Number: Z2Q) is a highly efficient line mount manifold designed for hydraulic systems. This model features a body with a bypass compensator, allowing it to effectively manage flow within the system. It is constructed with 6061T651 aluminum, known for its excellent corrosion resistance and strength, making it suitable for various environmental conditions. The manifold includes provisions for both threaded and thru-hole mounting, each with two mounting holes of .34 inches (8.6 mm) in diameter and a thread size of .31218 UNC 2B in., offering versatility in installation. The open cavity design is T-13A, and it supports port sizes of SAE 8, ensuring compatibility with standard hydraulic components. This manifold is particularly useful in applications requiring precise flow control and pressure management up to 3000 psi (210 bar), thanks to its robust construction and integrated bypass compensator. Its design accommodates high-flow valves, making it ideal for systems that demand efficient fluid management without compromising on performance or reliability. The use of aluminum also means that while the manifold is strong enough to handle significant pressures, it remains lightweight and easy to incorporate into existing systems. While anodizing could enhance certain properties like wear resistance or appearance, Sun Hydraulics opts not to anodize this model due to considerations around cost-effectiveness, consistency in manufacturing processes, and potential impacts on fatigue life. This decision ensures that the manifold maintains its structural integrity over time without unnecessary complications during production or application. Overall, the Sun Hydraulics Z2Q offers a reliable solution for hydraulic system designers seeking durable and efficient flow control components.

Show FAQ

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%.
How big is a drop of hydraulic oil?	There are exactly 250 Sun drops in a cubic inch or 15 in a cc.

Notes:

This manifold contains provisions for both threaded and thru-hole mounting, quantity two of each. See Technical Data table above for sizes.
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.
