The Hydraforce HCV12-20-0-U-30 (5202112) is a high-performance hydraulic check valve designed primarily for blocking or load-holding applications in hydraulic systems. It features a screw-in, cartridge style that facilitates easy installation and maintenance. This model operates by allowing fluid flow from port 1 to port 2 while normally blocking flow in the opposite direction, ensuring efficient operation and control within hydraulic circuits. This valve is equipped with a fully guided poppet, which remains spring-biased closed until sufficient pressure is applied at port 1 to open towards port 2. The design includes a hardened seat to ensure long life and minimal leakage, enhancing the reliability and performance of the system. Optional bias springs are available to provide additional backpressure application flexibility, catering to various operational requirements. The HCV12-20-0-U-30 can handle high-pressure applications with ease, supporting maximum operating pressures up to 420 bar (6090 psi) and burst pressures up to 1380 bar (20000 psi). It also supports a wide range of fluid temperatures depending on the seal material used—from -26°C to +204°C with fluorocarbon seals. Its robust construction ensures it can endure up to one million cycles, making it suitable for demanding industrial environments. With a maximum flow rating of 95 lpm (25 gpm) and very low internal leakage specifications, this valve maintains efficiency and performance even under stringent conditions. The product's versatility is further enhanced by its compatibility with various mineral-based or synthetic hydraulic fluids within a viscosity range of 7.4 to 420 cSt. Overall, the Hydraforce HCV12-20-0-U-30 offers reliable performance for hydraulic systems requiring precise flow control and load holding capabilities under high pressure and varied temperature conditions.
