The Sun Hydraulics BRC (BRC) is a robust hydraulic subplate designed for use with ISO 05 interfaces. This subplate features a body type that connects on port P, with port 3 leading to T, and includes bottom ports for streamlined installation. It is engineered with an open cavity labeled as T2A, providing versatility in application. The subplate accommodates a port size of 12 NPTF, ensuring compatibility with various hydraulic systems. Constructed from 6061T651 aluminum, the BRC subplate offers excellent corrosion resistance without the need for anodizing, which maintains its structural integrity and prolongs fatigue life. This makes it suitable for demanding environments where durability is crucial. The design considerations of this subplate focus on enhancing longevity and performance by avoiding anodization-related issues such as increased breakaway torque and reduced fatigue life. Ideal for integration into existing hydraulic systems or new installations requiring reliable fluid control, the Sun Hydraulics BRC provides a dependable solution with its high-quality construction and thoughtful design features.

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%.
