The Hydraforce EP20-S35-0-N-160 (5287108) is a high-performance hydraulic valve designed for efficient control in hydraulic systems. This screw-in, cartridge-style, pilot-to-close directional element is engineered to facilitate full fluid flow from port 1 to port 2 when the pressure at port 1 surpasses the combined pressure of port 3 and the bias spring pressure. It functions primarily as a spring-biased blocking valve, ensuring reliable operation and enhanced control in various applications. The valve boasts multiple function-application potential and is characterized by its low-pressure drop, making it suitable for a diverse range of hydraulic tasks. Its compatibility with industry-standard cavity VC20S3 simplifies installation processes and ensures it can be integrated into various setups without significant modifications. The EP20-S35-0-N-160 operates effectively within a pressure rating of up to 345 bar (5000 psi) and supports a broad temperature range depending on the seal material used—from -40°C to +100°C with Buna N seals, -26°C to +204°C with fluorocarbon seals, and -54°C to +107°C with polyurethane seals. This valve is also designed for durability, offering excellent corrosion protection with up to 960 hours of salt spray resistance per ASTM B117 standards. Its internal wetted surface area measures approximately 412 cm², providing ample space for fluid interactions. The unit's weight is about 0.77 kg (1.7 lb), which supports ease of handling and installation with a recommended torque specification of 88 to 102 Nm (65 to 75 ft-lb). Additionally, there are no orientation restrictions for installation, further enhancing its versatility across various hydraulic systems.
