The Hydraforce LS08-30-6T-N (5240040) is a high-performance load shuttle valve designed for hydraulic systems requiring efficient flow direction control based on pressure priority. This screw-in, cartridge-style check valve is engineered to allow flow from the higher pressure ports (either port 1 or 3) to port 2, ensuring that the circuit with the higher pressure receives priority over lower pressure ones. It is particularly effective in blocking circuits where such prioritization is crucial. The LS08-30-6T-N features rapid response capabilities to load direction changes, making it suitable for applications that demand quick and reliable hydraulic responses. Its compact size facilitates easy integration into various hydraulic systems without requiring extensive space, which is an advantage in tightly packed machinery setups. This valve operates effectively within a pressure rating of up to 3500 psi (241 bar) and can handle a wide range of operating temperatures depending on the seal material used—ranging from -40°C to 100°C with Buna N seals and up to 204°C with fluorocarbon seals. The maximum internal leakage is maintained at a minimal rate of only 0.25 ml/min at 3000 psi, showcasing its efficiency in maintaining system integrity. Additional specifications include a broad fluid viscosity range from 7.4 to 420 cSt, accommodating various types of mineral-based or synthetic hydraulic fluids with lubricating properties. The LS08-30-6T-N also adheres to stringent contamination levels as per ISO standards, supporting system longevity and reliability. Installation features are user-friendly; it fits into VC083 cavity sizes and does not have orientation restrictions, allowing for flexible mounting options. The valve's robust design includes options for multiple seal materials like Buna N, fluorocarbon, polyurethane, and urethane, catering to different environmental conditions and operational requirements.
