For over half a century, Sun Hydraulics has championed the world of cartridge valve technology by producing high-performance cartridge valves, integrated packages, and now the company has congregated a medley of solutions to customize a system that can significantly boost and improve efficiency, reduce fuel consumption, and provide cost savings. Customers can confidently integrate these ecoline™ products into their machinery knowing that it comes from the most-trusted name in the hydraulic valve industry.”

Composed of several unique products, the ecoline™ program features Sun’s latest evolution in electrohydraulic load holding and counterbalance technology, eSense™, as well as other popular solutions such as the LoadMatch™, Load Adaptive™, Series 4 Plus cartridges, T-18AU & T-19AU cavities, QuickDesign, and EVY manifold castings.

Additional features and benefits of the solutions within the ecoline™ program:

  • The eSense™ solution boasts 100% of the performance at 30% of the power consumption when compared to a traditional counterbalance valve solution. Proven lab tests conducted at Purdue University’s Maha Fluid Power Research Center demonstrated energy savings as high as 85% in some load conditions.
  • LoadMatch™ counterbalance valves offer 30% or more energy savings by automatically controlling the setting at reduced loads. This self-setting valve minimizes energy wasted during machine cycle times and features the advanced stability and safety characteristics that users have come to expect from Sun. For a quick look at potential energy savings, the LoadMatch™ Energy Savings calculator is available and conveniently located on each LoadMatch™ product page.
  • LoadAdaptive™ counterbalance valves offer motion control to reduce the setting of the valve by utilizing pilot assist control.
  • Series 4 PLUS cartridges and T-18AU & T-19AU cavities are 50%-80% more efficient than a standard Sun Series 4 equivalent cartridge.
  • Innovative, efficient design of the Sun cavity allows for larger port sizes and reduced pressure drop. Combined with the ability to create a 5-axis design in QuickDesign, the results are a solution which contains less plugs and equals less potential leak points.
  • Sun Hydraulics has developed the capability to offer manifold castings. These castings utilize material more efficiently, leading to weight reduction, lower pressure loss, fewer leak points, and improved reliability.
