The Hydraforce LS08-30-0-N (5240000) is a high-performance load shuttle valve designed for hydraulic applications requiring reliable, directional flow control. This screw-in, cartridge-style hydraulic check valve is adept at blocking circuits where the flow direction priority is assigned to a higher pressure circuit over a lower one. It efficiently allows flow from either of the higher pressure ports (1 or 3) to port 2, ensuring optimal fluid dynamics in complex hydraulic systems. This valve features rapid response capabilities to changes in load direction and maintains a compact form factor, making it suitable for space-constrained installations. The LS08-30-0-N operates effectively within a pressure rating of up to 3500 psi (241 bar) and accommodates various fluid temperatures ranging from -40°C to +100°C with Buna N seals, and even wider ranges with other seal materials like Fluorocarbon, Polyurethane, and Urethane. It supports mineral-based or synthetic hydraulic fluids with lubricating properties within a viscosity range of 7.4 to 420 cSt. For installation, the LS08-30-0-N fits into VC083 cavities and can be installed without orientation restrictions. Its design includes corrosion protection up to 960 hours of salt spray per ASTM B117 standards, enhancing its durability in harsh environments. The unit weighs approximately 0.06 kg (0.14 lb) and has an internal wetted surface area of about 70 cm² (10.8 in²). The product also offers various accessories like multiple seal kits suited for different environmental conditions and operational requirements. Overall, the Hydraforce LS08-30-0-N is engineered for efficiency and reliability in prioritizing flow directions under variable pressures and temperatures, making it an essential component for advanced hydraulic systems.
