The Hydraforce BV10-40-8T-N (5286050) is a sophisticated hydraulic control valve designed for efficient management of fluid power in various hydraulic systems. This spool type pressure to shift, spring return, three-position valve allows oil pressure from either of its inlet 'M' ports to be directed to the 'C' port. It is primarily utilized to disengage a spring-applied park brake when hydraulic power needs to be transferred to move a load. In its neutral state, the 'C' port remains open to the tank. However, when the pressure differential between the 'M' Ports crosses approximately 80 psi, the spool shifts sufficiently to close off the tank port and channel the higher pressure from an 'M' port to 'C'. Built with hardened work surfaces and fitting into an industry-common cavity (VC104), this valve ensures durability and compatibility with standard installations. The BV10-40-8T-N can handle pressures up to 3500 psi and operates effectively within a fluid temperature range of -40°C to +100°C with Buna N seals, extending up to +204°C with Viton seals. It supports a wide viscosity range of 7.4 to 420 cSt for hydraulic fluids. The unit's compact design weighs about 0.163 kg and has an internal wetted surface area of 172 cm², making it suitable for space-conscious applications without any orientation restrictions during installation. For maintenance or adaptations based on operational requirements, seal kits including Buna N, Viton, and Polyurethane options are available along with corresponding installation instructions. Valve bodies are also accessible for different configuration needs within hydraulic systems.
