The Sun Hydraulics HGN (Material Number: HGN) is a line mount manifold featuring a ninety-degree configuration with a shuttle, designed for efficient hydraulic system integration. It is constructed from 6061T651 aluminum, known for its excellent corrosion resistance and strength, making it suitable for various applications where environmental durability is crucial. The manifold includes two mounting holes with a diameter of 0.42 inches (10.7 mm), accommodating through-hole installation for secure and stable attachment. It supports one open cavity and utilizes the T-17A cavity type, ensuring compatibility with specific hydraulic components. This product is designed with SAE 20 port sizes, facilitating high-flow hydraulic connections commonly required in demanding fluid power systems. The manifold's design does not include anodization, which helps maintain its fatigue life by avoiding potential crack initiation under pressure cycling conditions. This choice also simplifies logistics and reduces costs associated with additional processing steps like anodizing. The Sun Hydraulics HGN manifold is engineered to operate at system pressures up to 3000 psi (210 bar), considering the material's inherent properties. This pressure rating ensures reliable performance in medium-pressure applications while maintaining safety and structural integrity within specified limits. Its construction supports standard line mount configurations, making it an ideal choice for systems requiring efficient fluid distribution without compromising on performance or longevity. Overall, the Sun Hydraulics HGN offers robust functionality tailored to meet the needs of complex hydraulic assemblies, providing users with a dependable solution for managing fluid flow in various industrial settings.

Show FAQ

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%.
How big is a drop of hydraulic oil?	There are exactly 250 Sun drops in a cubic inch or 15 in a cc.

Notes:

Important: Carefully consider the maximum system pressure. The pressure rating of the manifold is dependent on the manifold material, with the port type/size a secondary consideration. Manifolds constructed of aluminum are not rated for pressures higher than 3000 psi (210 bar), regardless of the port type/size specified.
