The Hydraforce BV10-40-6T-N (5286041) is a sophisticated load shuttle valve, integral for controlling hydraulic flow in various applications. This spool-type, pressure-to-shift valve features a spring return and three operational positions, designed to efficiently manage the direction of oil pressure from its inlet 'M' ports to the 'C' port. Primarily, it serves to release a spring-applied park brake when hydraulic power is engaged to move a load. In its neutral state, the 'C' port remains open to the tank until a pressure differential of approximately 80 psi between the 'M' ports is achieved, which then shifts the spool to close the tank port and open the higher-pressure 'M' port to 'C'. The BV10-40-6T-N boasts hardened work surfaces for enhanced durability and operates within an industry-common cavity, making it versatile for integration into various systems. It supports a maximum pressure rating of 3500 psi and can handle fluid temperatures ranging from -40°C to +100°C with Buna N seals, up to +204°C with Viton seals, and from -54°C to +107°C with polyurethane seals. The valve is compatible with mineral-based or synthetic hydraulic fluids with lubricating properties within a viscosity range of 7.4 to 420 cSt. Moreover, this model ensures minimal internal leakage under high-pressure conditions (up to 164 ml/min at 3000 psi), demonstrating its efficiency and reliability in maintaining hydraulic system integrity. Its lightweight design (0.36 lb) and compact internal wetted surface area (26.7 in) facilitate easy installation without orientation restrictions in various configurations using VC104 cavity specifications. Optional accessories like different seal kits for varying operational needs are available, enhancing its adaptability across numerous applications.
