Mounting and assembly of Sun Hydraulics sandwich bodies

Several of Sun Hydraulics’ sandwich manifold bodies are reversible – meaning that the flow direction for meter-in and meter-out depends on how the sandwich body is installed. This is a major advantage, as the same body can be used in multiple applications. However, it also requires that the body is mounted in the correct orientation.
