The Hydraforce EV16-S34-0-N-40 (5283206) is a screw-in, cartridge-style directional element designed for hydraulic applications. This valve operates as a spring-biased blocking valve with an internal pilot orifice and shifts to allow full flow from port 1 to port 2 when port 3 is vented, creating a pressure drop across the internal orifice that exceeds the bias spring's pressure. It features multiple application potentials and ensures smooth shift transitions with low pressure drops. Key specifications of the EV16-S34-0-N-40 include a maximum flow rating of 189 lpm (50 gpm) and a pressure rating up to 241 bar (3500 psi). The valve is compatible with mineral-based or synthetic hydraulic fluids with lubricating properties, supporting fluid viscosity ranges from 7.4 to 420 cSt. It can operate in temperatures ranging from -40°C to +100°C (-40°F to +212°F) with Buna N seals, and up to +204°C (400°F) with fluorocarbon seals. The EV16-S34-0-N-40 is designed for versatility in its use, offering options such as tall or extra tall cap versions for different bias spring settings (90, 110, 160, and 240 psi), and optional manual overrides. Its metering option 'G' allows for controlled metered flow during operation. The valve fits into industry-common cavity VC16S3 and requires no specific orientation during installation. With its robust design and multiple configurations available through various cap heights and manual override options, this valve meets diverse hydraulic system requirements efficiently.
