The Hydraforce EP12-S35T-0-N-160 (5283040) is a high-performance hydraulic directional element, designed as a screw-in, cartridge-style valve. This pilot-to-close valve operates by allowing full flow from port 1 to port 2 only when the pressure at port 1 surpasses the combined pressure at port 3 plus the bias spring pressure. It features a low-pressure drop and utilizes an industry-common cavity, making it versatile for multiple function applications. The EP12-S35T-0-N-160 is equipped with a manual override option and an 80 psi spring, enhancing its operational flexibility. It supports a maximum flow as indicated by its performance graph and can handle pressures up to 5000 psi (345 bar). The valve demonstrates minimal internal leakage of 131 ml/min at maximum pressure, ensuring efficient operation. Suitable for various hydraulic fluids, including mineral-based or synthetic types with lubricating properties, it operates effectively within a fluid viscosity range of 7.4 to 420 cSt. The unit is robust in diverse environmental conditions with operating fluid temperatures ranging from -40°C to +100°C with standard seals and up to +204°C with special seals. This model's construction allows for easy installation in VC12S3 cavities without orientation restrictions and requires a cartridge installation torque between 44.7 to 50.2 Nm. The EP12-S35T-0-N-160 weighs approximately 0.44 kg and offers an internal wetted surface area of about 269 cm², ensuring durability and reliability in demanding applications. Additionally, it maintains performance within an ambient temperature range of -40°C to +90°C and can be stored safely between -40°C to +70°C. With ISO 4406 contamination levels up to 20/18/14, it guarantees cleanliness and longevity in hydraulic systems. Optional accessories include seal kits like SK12S3XMM for maintenance and compatible housings for various installation requirements.
