The Hydraforce PD42-S60N-0-N-170 (5267503) is a high-performance, pilot-operated directional hydraulic valve designed for robust industrial applications. This screw-in, cartridge-style valve operates by allowing flow between specific ports based on the positioning of its spool, which is controlled by a remote pilot signal. In its neutral state, the valve permits flow between ports 2 and 3 as well as between ports 4 and 5. Upon receiving a pilot signal at port 1, it shifts to connect flow between ports 3 and 4 and ports 2 and 5. The unique design includes a vented spring chamber that exhausts to the tank through port 6, ensuring that full pressurization of ports 2, 3, and 4 does not impact the required pilot pressure. The PD42-S60N-0-N-170 features a hardened spool and cage which significantly enhance its durability and lifespan. It also offers an optional sealed spool for applications requiring reduced leakage or contamination risks. The valve is capable of handling pressures up to 324 bar (4700 psi) at ports 2, 3, and 4, with a burst pressure rating reaching up to 1241 bar (18000 psi). It supports maximum flow rates up to 189 liters per minute (50 gallons per minute), making it suitable for substantial hydraulic systems. Temperature resilience is another critical attribute of this model; it operates effectively with fluid temperatures ranging from -40°C to +100°C with standard Buna N seals and can handle even broader ranges with alternative seal materials like Viton or polyurethane. Additionally, the PD42-S60N-0-N-170 accommodates a wide viscosity range of hydraulic fluids from 7.4 to 420 cSt and maintains performance within maximum operating contamination levels specified by ISO standards. This directional valve is designed for installation in VC42S6 cavities without any orientation restrictions and requires torque settings between 88.1 to 101.7 Nm for cartridge installation. Accessories such as seal kits are available for various sealing options along with detailed installation instructions ensuring proper setup in diverse hydraulic systems configurations.
