The Hydraforce PE12-S67K-0-N (5262143) is a high-performance, screw-in, cartridge-style hydraulic directional valve that is pilot operated and features proportional control with a spring-centered spool. This valve is specifically designed for precise control in hydraulic systems, utilizing a non-symmetrical spool that provides excellent metering characteristics and linearity. It operates by shifting the spool proportionally to the pilot pressure applied either at port 1 or port 6, allowing for controlled flow direction and volume through its various ports. In its neutral position, the inlet port 3 is blocked while ports 2, 4, and 5 communicate with each other. Upon receiving a remote pilot signal at port 1, the spool shifts to allow flow from port 3 to port 4 through a load such as a hydraulic cylinder or motor, then from port 2 to port 5 and back to the tank. A pilot signal at port 6 causes the spool to shift in the opposite direction, reversing the flow. The valve's hardened spool and cage ensure durability and long life under demanding conditions. Key specifications include a pressure rating of up to 5000 psi at port 3 and flow ratings up to 12 gallons per minute. It supports operating fluid temperatures ranging from -40°C up to +100°C with different seal options accommodating various temperature requirements. The PE12-S67K-0-N accommodates mineral-based or synthetic hydraulic fluids with varying viscosities from 7.4 to 420 cSt and maintains performance within contamination levels specified by ISO standards. This valve's robust design and flexible configuration make it suitable for advanced hydraulic applications demanding reliable performance and precise control.
