The Sun Hydraulics GCT (Material Number: GCT) is a line mount hydraulic manifold designed for inline applications. This manifold features an interface with no specific body features and accommodates one open cavity type T-13A. It is constructed with 6061-T651 aluminum, known for its excellent corrosion resistance and relative strength, making it suitable for various hydraulic systems where durability is essential. The manifold includes 11 mounting holes with a diameter of 0.33 inches (8.4 mm), designed to accommodate through-hole configurations for secure installation. The port size is specified as 1/4 BSPP, which is standard in many hydraulic systems. The GCT model does not undergo anodizing, a decision based on maintaining cost efficiency and avoiding the potential decrease in fatigue life that anodizing can cause. This choice also eliminates issues related to consistency in appearance and increased breakaway torque when removing items from the manifold. The manifold's material limits its maximum pressure rating to 3000 psi (210 bar), which should be considered during system design to ensure compatibility and safety. This product serves as a crucial component in hydraulic systems requiring reliable fluid control without the need for additional wear surface treatments or enhanced corrosion resistance beyond what aluminum naturally provides. Its straightforward design supports easy integration into existing setups, making it a practical choice for engineers designing or maintaining hydraulic circuits that require robust yet uncomplicated solutions.
