The Hydraforce 5008179 (5008179) is a solenoid-operated, 4-port, 3-position, direct-acting spool type screw-in hydraulic cartridge valve designed for efficient control in hydraulic systems. This model is engineered to perform distinct operations based on its energization state. When de-energized, it blocks the inlet port 3 while allowing flow from ports 2 and 4 to port 1. Energizing coil 1 changes the flow path from port 3 to port 4 and maintains the flow from port 2 to port 1. Similarly, when coil 2 is energized, it redirects the flow from port 3 to port 2 and from port 4 to port 1. The valve features a continuous-duty rated solenoid that ensures reliable operation under sustained usage. Its construction includes a hardened precision spool and cage which significantly enhances its lifespan by resisting wear and tear in demanding conditions. The unit offers flexibility with optional coil voltages and terminations, accommodating various system requirements. Additionally, it includes a manual override option which provides an alternative control method in case of electronic control failure. For environments requiring robust performance against moisture and dust, the Hydraforce 5008179 offers optional waterproof E-Coils rated up to IP69K. Its efficient wet-armature construction aids in optimal performance while all ports of the valve can withstand being fully pressurized, enhancing its versatility in application across different hydraulic circuits. The cartridges are voltage interchangeable which simplifies maintenance and inventory management. With its compact size facilitated by an industry-common cavity design, this valve is ideal for integration into space-constrained installations while ensuring reliable operation and easy maintenance.
