The Sun Hydraulics ZLQ (Material Number: ZLQ) is a line mount manifold designed to accommodate high flow hydraulic systems. This model features an inline body type with an interface that complies with the 1.50 SAE C61 metric standards, ensuring compatibility and ease of integration into existing systems. The mounting configuration includes 11 through-holes, each with a diameter of .53 inches (13.5 mm), allowing for secure and versatile installation options. The manifold is equipped with open cavities conforming to the T19A cavity specification, facilitating efficient fluid management within the system. Port size for this model is designated as 1-12 Code 61, supporting robust hydraulic connections and ensuring reliable performance under demanding conditions. Constructed from 6061T651 aluminum, the manifold offers excellent corrosion resistance and durability, making it suitable for various environmental conditions without the need for anodizing. However, it is crucial to note that aluminum manifolds like this one are not rated for pressures exceeding 3000 psi (210 bar), emphasizing the importance of adhering to specified pressure limits to maintain system integrity. This manifold serves as a vital component in hydraulic applications requiring efficient fluid distribution and management, particularly in systems where high flow rates are essential. Its design facilitates seamless integration with other components in hydraulic circuits, contributing to optimized system performance and reliability.

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.
