Soft Shift DTAF-S

A common challenge in hydraulic systems is pressure spikes during valve shifting or unloading. These spikes place unnecessary stress on the system and can eventually lead to leaks or other issues.

Soft-Shift On/Off Valve

To achieve smoother transitions, SUN Hydraulics offers its Soft Shift series. The new DTAF-S is an electrically actuated, on/off 2-way directional valve that now includes this soft-opening function.

The DTAF-S opens up to 2.5 times more slowly than a standard DTAF valve. See the curves in the datasheet for a comparison of shift performance between the DTAF-S and the standard DTAF.

Common applications include all types of unloading scenarios, such as pump unloading, electrically unloaded pressure relief valves, and dump valves. These valves are also available in soft-shift versions, such as the DBAF-S.

The DTAF-S valve has been tested to 10 million cycles and is zinc-nickel coated to withstand 1000 hours of salt spray testing.
