The Sun Hydraulics FMB (Material Number: FMB) is a line mount manifold designed for hydraulic systems requiring cross port functionality with make-up checks. This product features a robust construction with a body made from 6061T651 aluminum, known for its excellent corrosion resistance and cost-effectiveness. The manifold includes two open cavities, specifically designed to accommodate T10A cartridges, and offers two mounting holes with a diameter of 0.34 inches (8.6 mm), allowing for through-hole mounting. The port size is specified as 3/8 NPTF, suitable for various hydraulic connections. This manifold is engineered to handle pressures up to 3000 psi (210 bar), making it ideal for applications where reliable performance under high pressure is critical. Its design ensures efficient fluid control and distribution within hydraulic circuits, utilizing the cross port functionality to balance flow between different sections of the system seamlessly. The choice of not anodizing the aluminum body stems from considerations such as cost efficiency, logistics, and maintaining optimal fatigue life of the manifold under operational pressures. The decision leverages the inherent properties of 6061T651 aluminum to resist corrosion without additional treatment, thus simplifying manufacturing processes while ensuring durability. Overall, the Sun Hydraulics FMB model provides a pragmatic solution for integrating high-flow valves in hydraulic systems where space and weight are considerations without compromising on performance or reliability in demanding environments.
