Innovative Products
Since the beginning, our products have been setting the standard for the screw-in hydraulic cartridge valve industry. Sun's floating cartridge construction and cavity design approach allows products to operate precisely and reliably at higher pressures and flow rates in the most demanding applications. The generous porting area, coupled with our manifold design and construction techniques, result in integrated packages that can be up to 50% smaller than competitive offerings.
Complete Product Line
Sun cartridge valves are offered in five primary sizes, with flow capacity and controlled horsepower doubling with each successive size. Within each broad functional area (pressure, flow, load control, etc.), multiple variations are available to help you optimize your control circuit, from individual valves to complete integrated packages. Our expansive product line allows you to develop the best control solution for your hydraulic application.
Global Reach with a Local Touch
All of our operations in the US, UK, Germany, Korea, China, and India are staffed with engineers who speak both the local language as well as English to provide you with the technical support and expertise you need.
Strong Global Distribution Channel
Our authorized distributors and system integrators provide Sun products and expertise when and where you need it most. We've worked with most of our distributors for decades; they have the local market knowledge, technical expertise and inventory to meet your needs.
Sun Employees
We gauge our success by your satisfaction. Yes, you want long-term value but you also want to speak with an actual person, not an automated system. While we don't have official position titles here, you'll find that every Sun employee sees customer service as their job.
