The Sun Hydraulics X8C (Material Number: X8C) is a high-quality line mount manifold designed for efficient hydraulic fluid management. This model features a banjo bolt interface, allowing for straightforward installation and integration into existing hydraulic systems. The through port 3 design supports seamless fluid flow, and it is equipped with a single open cavity, identified as T17A, to accommodate various hydraulic components. The manifold\u2019s port size is 1 BSPP, ensuring compatibility with standard fittings. Manufactured from 6061T651 aluminum, the X8C offers excellent corrosion resistance and durability without the need for anodizing. This choice of material strikes a balance between strength and cost-effectiveness while maintaining resilience in corrosive environments. The banjo bolt installation torque ranges from 235 lb. ft. to 260 lb. ft. (320 Nm to 350 Nm), providing secure and reliable connections under high-pressure conditions. The Sun Hydraulics X8C is ideal for applications requiring robust hydraulic fluid distribution with minimal maintenance concerns due to its corrosion-resistant properties and simplified design. It is crucial to consider the maximum system pressure when integrating this manifold into a system, as aluminum manifolds are not rated for pressures exceeding 3000 psi (210 bar). This product exemplifies Sun Hydraulics' commitment to quality engineering and reliability in hydraulic component manufacturing.

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%.

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.
