The Sun Hydraulics DCK (DCK) is an inline line mount manifold designed with a T5A cavity and SAE 10 port size, making it ideal for various hydraulic applications. This body type features a through-hole design with eleven mounting holes, each with a diameter of .42 inches (10.7 mm), allowing for secure installation in diverse setups. The manifold is crafted from 6061T651 aluminum, known for its strength, affordability, and exceptional corrosion resistance. Unlike other aluminum alloys, 6061T651 does not require anodizing due to its inherent resistance to corrosive environments, providing longevity and reliability without additional surface treatments. The manifold serves as a robust plumbing component within hydraulic systems, facilitating efficient fluid control without the need for wear surfaces typically associated with parts-in-body valves. With its precise engineering and durable construction, the Sun Hydraulics DCK manifold is a reliable choice for demanding hydraulic applications where consistent performance and durability are paramount.

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.
