The Hydraforce PD16-40-0-N-60 (5262000) is a pilot-operated, spool-type, hydraulic directional valve designed for robust performance in various hydraulic systems. This screw-in, cartridge-style valve primarily facilitates controlled hydraulic flow, enabling users to manage the direction and flow of fluid within hydraulic circuits effectively. In its neutral position, the PD16-40-0-N-60 allows bidirectional flow from port 3 to port 2 while blocking port 4. Upon receiving a remote pilot signal at port 1, the spool shifts to connect ports 3 and 4, simultaneously blocking port 2. This model is engineered with a hardened spool and cage to ensure longevity and reliability under continuous use. It features an industry-common cavity (VC164), making it compatible with standard installations. The valve operates efficiently within a pressure rating up to 3500 psi (241 bar) and can handle fluid temperatures ranging from -40 to +248°F (-40 to +120°C). Its maximum internal leakage is specified at 245 ml/min at 3000 psi (207 bar), highlighting its precision in controlling fluid escape. The external surfaces of the PD16-40-0-N-60 are zinc-plated for corrosion resistance, while its internal work surfaces are crafted from hardened steel for durability. Weighing approximately 1.15 lb (0.52 kg), this valve maintains a compact and manageable profile suitable for various applications requiring reliable directional control of hydraulic fluids. Optional accessories such as different seal kits made from Buna N, Viton, or Polyurethane are available to enhance its performance and adaptability across different operational environments.
