The Hydraforce EP08-35-0-N-40 (5281101) is a screw-in, cartridge-style, spool-type hydraulic directional element designed for versatile applications in fluid power systems. This spring-biased blocking valve operates by allowing flow from port 1 to port 2 when pressure at port 1 exceeds the combined pressure at port 3 plus the bias spring pressure. In conditions where there is no pressure at port 3, the flow will commence from port 1 to 2 once the bias spring force is overcome by the pressure at port 1. This model boasts a compact size and low-pressure drop, enhancing its efficiency and suitability for integration into various hydraulic systems without requiring extensive space or causing significant energy loss. The EP08-35-0-N-40 operates effectively within a broad range of temperatures: -40 to +100°C with Buna N seals, -26 to +204°C with fluorocarbon seals, and -54 to +107°C with polyurethane seals. It ensures reliability even under varying operational conditions and can handle up to 345 bar (5000 psi) of pressure. Additional features include an industry-standard cavity (VC083), facilitating easy installation in existing setups without special modifications. The valve's design also supports multiple seal options that cater to different environmental and operational demands, ensuring versatility across applications. The unit’s weight is minimal at approximately 0.1 kg (0.22 lb), which combined with its internal wetted surface area of about 101 cm² (15.6 in²), underscores its efficiency and adaptability in hydraulic systems ranging from mobile machinery to industrial equipment.
