The Hydraforce CV12-20-0-N-30 (5202400) is a screw-in, cartridge-style hydraulic check valve designed primarily for use as a blocking or load-holding device in hydraulic systems. It facilitates the flow of hydraulic fluid from port 1 to port 2 while typically preventing flow in the reverse direction. This functionality is controlled by a fully guided, spring-biased check assembly that remains closed until sufficient pressure at port 1 forces it open, allowing fluid passage to port 2. Key features of the CV12-20-0-N-30 include a hardened seat that ensures long life and minimal leakage, enhancing the valve's reliability and performance in demanding applications. The valve offers optional bias springs which provide flexibility for backpressure applications, making it adaptable to various hydraulic system requirements. The unit is designed with cost-effectiveness in mind, featuring a cavity that simplifies installation while maintaining effective performance. The CV12-20-0-N-30 can handle pressures up to 240 bar (3500 psi) and operates effectively within a fluid temperature range of -40°C to +100°C (-40°F to +212°F) when equipped with standard Buna N seals. Alternate seal materials allow for broader temperature ranges, accommodating more extreme conditions. The valve's design also supports a wide range of fluid viscosities from 7.4 to 420 cSt, ensuring versatility across different hydraulic systems and applications. This model weighs approximately 0.17 kg (0.38 lb) and has an internal wetted surface area of about 126 cm² (19.6 in²), with installation specifications recommending a torque range of 44.7 to 50.2 Nm (33 to 37 ft-lb). It is compatible with VC122 cavities and does not have orientation restrictions during installation, further simplifying its integration into various setups.
