The Hydraforce PV08-30A-0-N-00 (5110500) is a solenoid-operated, pressure-compensated, spool-type, normally closed, priority-type proportional flow control regulator. This versatile device can also function as a restrictive type, 2-way pressure-compensated proportional flow regulator when port 2 is blocked. The valve operates by regulating priority flow from port 1 to port 3, with the flow rate being proportional to the current applied to the solenoid. Excessive flow is bypassed through port 2 and can be utilized for auxiliary functions. It is crucial to avoid dead-heading of the priority line by external valving to prevent blocking of the bypass line. In restrictive mode applications, with port 2 blocked, the flow rate out of port 3 remains proportional to the current applied regardless of load pressure. Key features include excellent linearity and hysteresis characteristics, a hardened spool and cage for durability, optional coil voltages and terminations, and efficient wet-armature construction. The valve's pressure ratings include an inlet pressure of up to 241 bar (3500 psi), regulated and bypass pressures up to 207 bar (3000 psi), proof pressure at 345 bar (5000 psi), and burst pressure reaching up to 896 bar (13000 psi). Flow ratings vary based on configuration but can reach up to a maximum input of 22.8 lpm (6.0 gpm) when three-ported. Temperature ratings accommodate operating fluid temperatures from -40\u00b0C to 100\u00b0C with buna N seals or -26\u00b0C to 204\u00b0C with fluorocarbon seals. It supports hydraulic fluids with viscosities ranging from 7.4 to 420 cSt and maintains a maximum operating contamination level per ISO standards. The cartridge weight varies depending on specific configurations but ranges between approximately 0.15 kg (0.33 lb) and 0.27 kg (0.59 lb). The PV08-30A-0-N-00 ensures long-lasting performance with corrosion protection rated for up to 960 hours in salt spray conditions per ASTM B117 standards.
