The Sun Hydraulics A7C (A7C) is a versatile manifold specifically designed for use with solenoid-operated and electroproportional cartridges. This manifold features additional material around the cavity to ensure coil clearance, accommodating Sun's weatherized coil. Its body type is line mount, with no specific interface, and it includes a ninety-degree body feature with a reverse flow check that accepts both standard and weatherized coils. The manifold has a mounting hole diameter of 0.34 inches (8.6 mm) and is designed with through-depth mounting holes, totaling 22 in quantity. It offers 11 open cavities and utilizes the T11A cavity type. The port size for this manifold is 12 NPTF. Constructed from 6061T651 aluminum, the A7C provides excellent corrosion resistance without the need for anodizing, which could potentially reduce fatigue life by up to 50%. This choice of material balances strength, cost-effectiveness, machinability, and availability while maintaining durability in corrosive environments. The design considerations make this manifold suitable for applications requiring robust performance under varying environmental conditions without compromising on longevity or reliability due to corrosion or wear issues commonly associated with other materials or processes like anodizing. In summary, the Sun Hydraulics A7C manifold offers an efficient solution for integrating solenoid-operated and electroproportional cartridges within hydraulic systems, ensuring compatibility with weatherized coils while providing reliable performance in demanding conditions due to its thoughtful design and material selection.
