The Hydraforce EP10-S35T-0-N-160 (5282400) is a screw-in, cartridge-style, pilot-to-close hydraulic directional element designed for robust control in hydraulic systems. This valve functions as a spring-biased blocking valve that shifts to allow full flow from port 1 to port 2 when the pressure at port 1 exceeds the combined pressure of port 3 plus the bias spring pressure value. It is engineered for versatility across multiple applications, providing a range of bias spring pressure options to accommodate different system requirements. This model requires a tall cap when used with specific spring options including 160, M11, 230, and M15.9, ensuring compatibility and performance optimization within various setups. It fits an industry-common cavity (VC10S3), making it suitable for standardized systems without necessitating unique or specialized components. The EP10-S35T-0-N-160 offers impressive operational parameters including a maximum pressure rating of 345 bar (5000 psi) and can handle fluid temperatures ranging from -40°C to +100°C with standard seals, extending up to +204°C with fluorocarbon or high durometer fluorocarbon seals. Its design considerations also include an internal wetted surface area of 191 cm² (29.6 in²) for the EP10S35T variant and supports fluid viscosities from 7.4 to 420 cSt. For installation, it requires cartridge installation torque between 32.5 to 35.3 Nm (24 to 26 ft-lb) and can handle maximum allowable torque up to 67.8 Nm (50 ft-lb). The unit is not restricted by orientation during installation, allowing flexibility in system design and maintenance. Overall, the Hydraforce EP10-S35T-0-N-160 is a highly functional component suitable for advanced hydraulic systems requiring precise control over fluid flow under varying pressures and conditions.
