Assembly Build Process

Sun's Assembly Build Process allows you to configure a cartridge and manifold, or main stage and pilot stage cartridge, and build a digital assembly in three dimensional space. The resulting output of this process is the assembly product page, including configuration-specific images, symbols, product information and CAD files for download.

The Assembly Build Process can be accessed from either a cartridge or manifold product page. Only valid choices are allowed.

From a manifold page, you must first choose your cartridge function. Once you choose your function, click on the BUILD ASSEMBLY button below the WHERE TO BUY BUTTON. Once clicked, you will be presented with valid cartridges for your manifold. Select the cartridge of your choice and follow the instructions at the top of the page. If your particular combination has been generated before, the resulting assembly page will be available immediately. If not, you will be asked to enter your email address. Once the page is complete, an email will be sent to you including a link to the assembly product page.

From a cartridge product page, click on BUILD ASSEMBLY and you will be presented with a listing of compatible manifolds. In the case of main stage and pilot stage cartridges, you can either build a cartridge to cartridge assembly or a cartridge to manifold assembly. Once your choice has been made, follow the instructions at the top of the page. If your particular combination has been generated before, the resulting assembly page will be available immediately. If not, you will be asked to enter your email address. Once the page is complete, an email will be sent to you including a link to the assembly product page.

Please note that the Assembly Build Process is an automated process. It can be utilized at any time. Pages are generated typically within minutes but delays can occasionally be expected. In the event of a delay, a team at Sun will work to resolve the issue to ensure you receive your information as quickly as possible.

Technical Features [ + ]

Low-side (hot oil) shuttle cartridges allow hot oil to be diverted from the low pressure side of a closed loop system. When both work ports (ports 2 and 4) are at equal pressures the valve is spring-centered to an all-ports-blocked position. When one of the work ports (port 2 or 4) sees a higher pressure the opposite work port is connected to the common port (port 3).

The spool incorporates a hydraulic stop that eliminates mechanical impact and therefore the potential for internal damage.
The hydraulic stop results in a small pilot flow from the high side work port (port 2 or 4) to the common port (port 3).
A unique feature due to the hydraulic stop is that the hot oil relief setting can be confirmed with the transmission in neutral.
NOTE: Low shift values can potentially result in charge pump pressure alone inadvertently shifting the valve. Use care when selecting shift pressure.
Although this valve goes into a 4-port cavity, the nose (port 1) is not used.
Incorporates the Sun floating style construction to minimize the possibility of internal parts binding due to excessive installation torque and/or cavity/cartridge machining variations.

FAQs [ + ]

How big is a drop of hydraulic oil?

There are exactly 250 Sun drops in a cubic inch or 15 in a cc.

Direct acting or pilot operated - what do I use?

Direct-acting valves are used to prevent over pressure, and pilot-operated valves are used to regulate pressure. If you are unsure, use a direct-acting valve. Sun's direct acting valves are very fast, dirt tolerant, stable, and robust. Sun's pilot-operated valves are moderately fast, they have a low pressure rise vs. flow curve, and they are easy to adjust.

What parts of the Sun cartridge valve are field serviceable?

Only external seals are serviceable. Sun offers replacement seal kits for all cartridge models. The applicable kit part number can be found in the product page's Technical Data table or by using our Cartridge Seal Kit search function located under Accessories. Please note: Converting the external seals from one material to another does not ensure fluid compatibility with that material due to the existence of internal seals within the cartridge.
