The Sun Hydraulics BGW (BGW) is a line-mount hydraulic manifold designed with a ninety-degree configuration featuring a shuttle. This versatile component is engineered for integration into hydraulic systems where directional control and pressure management are crucial. The BGW model accommodates 22 mounting holes with a diameter of .41 inches (10.4 mm), ensuring secure and stable installation through its through-hole design. It features 11 open cavities compatible with the T2A cavity type, providing flexibility for various hydraulic applications. Equipped with 3/4 BSPP port sizes, this manifold supports reliable fluid transfer and connection to other system components. Manufactured using 6061-T651 aluminum, the BGW offers excellent corrosion resistance, making it suitable for environments where durability is essential. This material choice balances strength and cost-effectiveness while maintaining the integrity of the manifold in corrosive conditions without the need for anodization. The absence of anodizing further enhances its fatigue life by avoiding the brittle surface that anodizing typically introduces, which can lead to fatigue cracks under pressure. Ideal for complex hydraulic circuits requiring efficient flow management, the Sun Hydraulics BGW is a robust solution for enhancing system performance in demanding applications.

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%.
