The Hydraforce PE16-S67C (5262130) is a screw-in, cartridge-style, proportional, spring-centered spool, pilot-operated hydraulic directional valve designed for robust and precise control in hydraulic systems. This valve operates by blocking all ports in its neutral position. Upon receiving a remote pilot signal at port 1, the spool shifts proportionally to the applied pilot pressure, enabling flow from port 3 to port 4 through a load such as a hydraulic cylinder or motor. It then allows flow from port 2 to port 5 and back to the tank. Conversely, with a remote pilot signal at port 6, the spool moves in the opposite direction under proportional pressure control, reversing the flow direction. The PE16-S67C is built with a hardened spool and cage to ensure longevity and durability even under rigorous conditions. Its symmetrical spool design provides meter-in and meter-out control that enhances performance through excellent metering characteristics and good linearity. The valve's cost-effective cavity design also adds value by reducing overall system costs while maintaining high quality. This model supports various pressure ratings: 345 bar (5000 psi) at port 3 and 241 bar (3500 psi) at ports 2 and 4, with lower pressures of 27.6 bar (400 psi) managed at ports 1 and 6. It accommodates fluid temperatures ranging from -40 to +100°C (-40 to +212°F) with Buna N seals, -26 to +204°C (-15 to +400°F) with Viton seals, and -54 to +107°C (-65 to +225°F) with polyurethane seals. The valve's operational versatility is further enhanced by its compatibility with mineral-based or synthetic hydraulic fluids within a viscosity range of 7.4 to 420 cSt. The PE16-S67C also features an internal wetted surface area of approximately 585 cm² (90.7 in²), weighs about 0.77 kg (1.7 lb), and can be installed into VC16S6 cavities without orientation restrictions—a testament to its flexible installation capabilities.
