The Sun Hydraulics ZLG (ZLG) is a robust hydraulic subplate designed for versatile applications requiring efficient fluid management. This model features a body type compatible with ISO 03 interfaces, ensuring seamless integration into existing hydraulic systems. The ZLG subplate incorporates P to T manifold connections and NPT ports for A and B, providing flexibility in various configurations and enhancing its adaptability across different setups. With one open cavity designed to accommodate a T10A cartridge, this subplate allows for customized functionality tailored to specific operational requirements. Constructed from 6061-T651 aluminum, the ZLG offers excellent corrosion resistance, making it suitable for demanding environments where durability is essential. This material choice also ensures the subplate remains lightweight yet strong, maintaining performance without compromising structural integrity. Notably, Sun Hydraulics opts not to anodize their aluminum bodies, as the natural properties of 6061-T651 provide sufficient corrosion resistance while avoiding potential issues like increased breakaway torque or reduced fatigue life associated with anodizing. The ZLG's design emphasizes careful consideration of maximum system pressure, with a pressure rating limit of 3000 psi (210 bar) due to its aluminum construction. This specification highlights the importance of matching the manifold material and port size/type to the intended application to ensure optimal performance and safety. The Sun Hydraulics ZLG is an ideal choice for hydraulic systems that demand reliable fluid control solutions within specified pressure constraints.

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:

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.
