The Sun Hydraulics WQS (Material Number: WQS) is a specialized hydraulic subplate designed for efficient fluid control in various applications. This model features an ISO 05 interface and is constructed from durable 6061-T651 aluminum, known for its excellent corrosion resistance and strength. The subplate includes P to T side ports and accommodates a single open cavity, specifically the T-10A cavity type. It is equipped with four mounting holes, each with a diameter of 0.44 inches (11.1 mm) and designed for through-depth installation, ensuring secure attachment in system setups. The port size is specified as 1/2 BSPP, suitable for standard hydraulic connections. This subplate is engineered to support systems with pressures up to 3000 psi (210 bar), making it versatile for numerous hydraulic applications where reliable fluid transfer and system integrity are crucial. It serves as a foundational component in hydraulic circuits, providing a robust platform for integrating additional hydraulic elements such as valves and cartridges. The design considerations ensure ease of installation and compatibility with existing systems that require ISO-standard interfacing. The use of non-anodized aluminum in the construction of the WQS model underscores its cost-effectiveness while maintaining high performance under typical operating conditions. This choice also aids in preserving the fatigue life of the manifold by avoiding potential issues associated with anodizing processes, such as increased breakaway torque or reduced structural integrity over time. Overall, the Sun Hydraulics WQS subplate offers reliable performance in demanding environments, supporting effective fluid management across various hydraulic systems while maintaining durability and ease of use.

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.

Notes:

Important: Carefully consider the maximum system pressure. The pressure rating of the manifold is dependent on the manifold material, with the port type/size a secondary consideration. Manifolds constructed of aluminum are not rated for pressures higher than 3000 psi (210 bar), regardless of the port type/size specified.
