The Hydraforce PD42-S60N-0-NS-170 (5267500) is a robust, pilot-operated, spool-type hydraulic directional valve engineered for high-performance fluid control applications. This screw-in, cartridge-style valve is designed to manage flow between multiple ports under various operating conditions. In its neutral state, the valve permits flow between ports 2 and 3 as well as between ports 4 and 5. A remote pilot signal at port 1 initiates a spool shift that changes the flow paths to connect ports 3 and 4 together and ports 2 and 5 together. Additionally, the spring chamber of this valve is vented to the tank via port 6, ensuring that full pressurization of ports 2, 3, and 4 does not interfere with the pilot pressure requirements. The PD42-S60N-0-NS-170 features a hardened spool and cage that significantly enhance its durability and service life. It offers an optional sealed spool for applications requiring reduced leakage or contamination risks. The valve can handle pressures up to 4700 psi at ports 2, 3, and 4 while maintaining a burst pressure resilience of up to 18000 psi. It supports a maximum flow rate of approximately 50 gallons per minute (189 liters per minute) with maximum internal leakage capped at about .35 gallons per minute (1.31 liters per minute) under a pressure of 3000 psi. This model operates effectively within fluid temperatures ranging from -40°F (-40°C) up to +400°F (+204°C), depending on the seal material used—options include Buna N seals, Viton seals, or polyurethane seals. The versatility in seal options ensures compatibility with both mineral-based or synthetic hydraulic fluids with varying viscosities from approximately .0074 cSt to .420 cSt. Designed for easy installation in VC42S6 cavities without orientation restrictions, the PD42-S60N-0-NS-170 facilitates straightforward maintenance procedures enabled by accessories like customizable seal kits (SK42S6XBMMMM) which include detailed installation instructions. Available housings further expand configuration options for diverse operational setups in hydraulic systems.
