SUN FLeX-Series™ Solenoid Valves and Coils
Premium performance in FLeXible configurations - by SUN Hydraulics
SUN Hydraulics FLeX-Series™ Solenoid Valves & Coils: Performance driven. Market priced.
SUN Hydraulics has just launched its new SUN FLeX™ family of competitively priced, high-performance electro-hydraulic products. These 16 completely new solenoid-operated cartridge valves and three new coils are the first products in the FLeX-Series™ Solenoid Valves for both mobile and industrial hydraulics markets.
Designed to outperform comparable valves in the market, FLeX Series solenoid valves deliver what you're looking for in a range of solenoid vavles:
- Consistently better pressure drop in a virtually leak-proof poppet-style valve
- Designed and tested to exceed 10-million-cycle operations
- Zinc-nickel plating standard (1000-hour salt fog) on valve and coil
- Coil options that include interchangeable low-power, high-power and hazardous location (explosion-proof) versions for expanded configuration flexibility
- Valve and coil package that delivers a perfect market-priced solution
The FLeX Series valves use SUN’s unique floating-style design, adding an extra layer of security in those harsh applications where torque and force can become excessive.
FLeX Performance Advantages:
FLeX valves offer significant performance advantages over competitive valves. For example, the FLeX DTBF normally closed, direct-acting blocking poppet valve, like all the FLeX valves, was designed with advanced Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulation tools to optimize flow path geometries. It is coupled with a solenoid actuator that provides optimized actuation force at critical points in the valve stroke. The result, as shown in the margin performance curves, is the following:
- Lower pressure differential across the valve at a given flow rate
- Increased shift performance at higher pressures and flows
Models available:
Two-way, direct-acting, solenoid-operated directional blocking poppet valves (normally closed and normally open)
- DTAF - 28 L/Min, pilot-capacity models leverage SUN's T-8A cavity design and can be used to pilot larger, higher-capacity valves
- DTBF - 34 L/Min, directional valves use the SUN T-162A cavity
Both models can use any of the three coil types (740 series, 747 series) in the normally closed version. Neither valve requires hydraulic pressure for operation.
Two-way, two-stage solenoid-operated directional blocking poppet valves (normally closed and normally open)
- DFB* valves, 40 L/Min, offer either 210bar/3000psi DFBD, DFBE, or 350bar/5000psi DFBF, DFBG max. operating pressure with improved pressure drop and reliable operation across their full operating range
The 3000-psi use the 740 series Low-Power Coils. The 5000-psi valves use the 740 Series High-Power Coils. Both use the 747 series Hazardous Location Coils.
Pilot-operated electro-proportional throttle valves (normally closed or normally open)
- FPB* throttle valves, 40 L/Min, FPBF, FPBG (normally closed) and FPBI, FPBJ (normally open) offer excellent command-versus-flow and pressure differential-versus-flow performance
Compatible with SUN's new XMD mobile drivers for finely tuned control for demanding electro-hydraulic applications. 350bar/5000psi valves use either the 740 Series high-power coils or the 747 Series explosion-proof coils.
