Sun Hydraulics manufactures custom engineered valve packages or "valvepaks" at all of its locations around the world. Valvepaks are comprised of standard screw-in cartridge valves housed in a custom manifold. Once a customer's hydraulic circuit has been developed, it is incorporated into a single, custom manifold designed to fit into a defined location. Benefits to customers using Sun's valvepak solutions include order simplification, reduced assembly time, and cost, and consolidation of the hydraulic control system.
All of our facilities use similar processes to design and manufacture
custom valvepaks that are backed by Sun's full range of screw-in hydraulic
cartridge valves. All manifolds can be manufactured in either T-6061
aluminum (3000 psi/210 bar) or 65-45-12 high-strength ductile iron (5000
psi/350 bar).
The beauty of Sun's valvepak solutions are that they all use our field
proven, standard cartridge valve components with floating construction.
Because of the inherent reliability of our cartridge valves, custom
valvepaks typically do not require expensive, sophisticated testing once
assembled.
