The Sun Hydraulics Z7Y (Material Number: Z7Y) is a line mount hydraulic manifold designed for efficient fluid control in hydraulic systems. This model features a cross port with shuttle body design, offering versatile fluid routing capabilities. It is built with 6061T651 aluminum, known for its excellent corrosion resistance and adequate strength, making it suitable for various demanding environments. The manifold includes two open cavities and accommodates a T10A cavity type, compatible with a range of hydraulic components. It has a mounting hole diameter of 0.34 inches (8.6 mm) and is designed to be mounted through with two mounting holes available. The Z7Y model incorporates 3/8 NPTF port sizes, providing standardized connections for ease of integration into existing systems. This manifold is suitable for applications requiring reliable cross-port functionality, such as in mobile or industrial hydraulic circuits where space and efficiency are critical considerations. The use of non-anodized aluminum ensures that the manifold maintains its structural integrity over time without the risk of fatigue cracks often associated with anodized surfaces. This product is particularly suited for applications operating under pressures not exceeding 3000 psi (210 bar), ensuring safe and optimal performance within these parameters. Its robust construction and thoughtful design make it an ideal choice for users seeking dependable performance in fluid management tasks across various 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.
