The Sun Hydraulics Z2S (Material Number: Z2S) is a versatile hydraulic manifold designed for line mounting applications. It features a robust body with an integrated bypass compensator, providing reliable flow management in complex hydraulic systems. The manifold is constructed from 6061-T651 aluminum, known for its excellent corrosion resistance and strength, making it suitable for demanding environments. It includes threaded mounting holes and through holes to accommodate various installation requirements, with a mounting hole diameter of 0.34 inches (8.6 mm) and a thread size of M8x1.25 6H. The manifold's open cavities are configured for the T-13A cavity type, and it is compatible with 3/8 BSPP port sizes. The Sun Hydraulics Z2S manifold is engineered to support maximum system pressures up to 3000 psi (210 bar), ensuring safe operation within specified limits. Its design does not include anodizing, which optimizes fatigue life by avoiding the potential brittleness associated with anodized surfaces under pressure cycling conditions. This makes the manifold particularly durable over extended use. This product is ideal for hydraulic circuits requiring precise flow control and pressure regulation due to its efficient bypass compensator feature. Its adaptability in mounting options allows easy integration into existing systems or new installations where space or configuration flexibility is crucial. The Z2S manifold's capacity to manage high flow rates while maintaining structural integrity makes it a reliable choice for various hydraulic applications demanding robust performance and longevity.

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:

This manifold contains provisions for both threaded and thru-hole mounting, quantity two of each. See Technical Data table above for sizes.
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.
