The Hydraforce SF08-20-0-P-00 (5000019) is a solenoid-operated, 2-way, normally closed, piloted poppet-type, screw-in hydraulic cartridge valve designed primarily as a blocking or load-holding device suitable for low flow circuits. Its operational mechanism is straightforward: when de-energized, the SF08-20 acts as a check valve allowing hydraulic fluid to flow from port 1 to port 2 while blocking the flow from port 2 to port 1. Upon energization, the valve's poppet lifts to open the flow path from port 2 to port 1, although in this state, the flow from port 1 to port 2 is significantly restricted. This model boasts several features enhancing its functionality and durability. It comes with a continuous-duty rated coil and a hardened seat which ensures long life and minimal leakage. The SF08-20 offers flexibility in terms of customization with optional coil voltages and terminations; furthermore, cartridges are voltage interchangeable which adds versatility in application across different systems. The unitized, molded coil design enhances structural integrity and reliability. For environments requiring robust durability against moisture, optional waterproof E-Coils are available that are rated up to IP69K. Additionally, it features corrosion-resistant plating capable of withstanding up to 96 hours of salt spray per ASTM B117 standards which makes it suitable for harsh conditions. With its industry common cavity design and compact size, this valve integrates easily into various hydraulic systems while providing efficient performance and reduced installation space requirements.
