The Hydraforce PD42-M40-0-N-160 (5267002) is a pilot-operated, spool-type, hydraulic directional valve designed for three-way circuit applications that require remote hydraulic pilot actuation. The valve operates by allowing bidirectional flow from port 3 to port 2 in its neutral, unpiloted position, while flow is blocked at port 4. Upon receiving a remote pilot signal at port 1, the valve shifts to open the flow from port 3 to port 4 and blocks port 2. This functionality is enhanced by a vented spring chamber that is internally O-ring sealed from the cartridge flow paths, ensuring that the valve can be fully pressurized at any port without affecting the required pilot pressure. Constructed for durability and long service life, the PD42-M40-0-N-160 features a hardened spool and cage. It fits industry-standard ISO cavities and offers optional sealed pilots for enhanced performance under various conditions. The valve supports pressures up to 345 bar (5000 psi) and flow rates up to 265 lpm (70 gpm), with maximum internal leakage specifications ensuring efficient operation. It accommodates a wide range of operating temperatures from -40°C to +100°C with Buna N seals, further extendable with alternative seal materials like fluorocarbon or polyurethane for different temperature ranges. This product is suitable for use with mineral-based or synthetic hydraulic fluids with lubricating properties within a viscosity range of 7.4 to 420 cSt. The PD42-M40-0-N-160 maintains performance even under maximum operating contamination levels as specified by ISO 4406 standards. Installation specifications include a torque requirement of 89 to 102 Nm without orientation restrictions in cartridge installation, making it versatile for various hydraulic system setups.
