The Hydraforce EP10-S38-0-N-160 (5282303) is a high-performance, screw-in, cartridge-style hydraulic directional element designed for precise fluid control in hydraulic systems. This spring-biased poppet valve effectively blocks or allows flow between port 1 and port 2 based on the pressure conditions at these ports relative to a bias spring and an additional port (port 3). The valve remains closed until the pressure at either port 1 or port 2 surpasses the combined pressure of port 3 and the bias spring. In its default state, the area ratios of ports are maintained at 1:1 between ports 1 and 2, and at 1:2 from either of these ports to port 3. This model boasts several features that enhance its utility across multiple applications. It offers a low pressure drop and is compatible with industry-standard cavity VC10S3, which simplifies installation processes. The EP10-S38-0-N-160 can handle pressures up to 345 bar (5000 psi) and operates efficiently across a broad temperature range (from -40°C to +100°C with Buna N seals, up to +204°C with Fluorocarbon seals, and from -54°C to +107°C with Polyurethane seals), making it versatile for various operating environments. The unit weighs approximately 0.15 kg (0.32 lb) and has an internal wetted surface area of about 116 cm² (18.0 in²). For maintenance or replacement needs, seal kits like SK10S3XMM are available along with installation instructions. Furthermore, it supports a wide range of fluid viscosities from 7.4 to 420 cSt and maintains performance within maximum operating contamination levels specified by ISO standards (20/18/14 per ISO 4406). This directional element is an integral component for ensuring reliable operation and control in sophisticated hydraulic systems.
