Sun Hydraulics Floating Cartridges: The Positive Impact on Manifold Design.

Sun Hydraulics cartridge valves are a compact solution for manifold design. The cartridge construction and cavity design has a positive impact on manifold design, which means that your company will have more space and less money invested in the system. 

A cartridge valve has a few components that are unlike a traditional back-pressure regulator. Unlike the manifold design of traditional valves, Sun Hydraulics cartridge valves have one component mounted on top and another on the bottom, which allows for easier access with less space requirements. This is accomplished by using floating cartridges in both chambers instead of fixed seats.

• Maximum design flexibility with consistent port usage and optimized port connection areas.

• Sun’s entire cartridge product line uses a small number of cavities thus reducing tooling requirements.

• Seven cartridge sizes allow flows ranging from 0.25 gpm (1 L/min.) to 300 gpm (1100 L/min.).

• High operating pressures: 5000 psi (350 bar) for all cartridge functions.• Cartridge types are interchangeable without compromising equipment performance.
