The Hydraforce EP20-S35-0-V-160 (5287109) is a screw-in, cartridge-style, pilot-to-close hydraulic directional element designed for high-performance hydraulic systems. This valve functions as a spring-biased blocking valve that shifts to allow full flow from port 1 to port 2 when the pressure at port 1 exceeds the combined pressure of port 3 plus the bias spring pressure. The EP20-S35-0-V-160 offers multiple functional applications due to its versatile design and low pressure drop, making it suitable for various hydraulic circuits. This model is built to operate within a pressure rating of up to 345 bar (5000 psi) and can handle a maximum internal leakage of 197 ml/min at this maximum pressure. It supports a wide range of operating fluid temperatures 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. The valve's corrosion protection includes a 960-hour salt spray resistance per ASTM B117, ensuring durability and long-term performance in harsh environments. The EP20-S35-0-V-160 accommodates mineral-based or synthetic hydraulic fluids with lubricating properties within a viscosity range of 7.4 to 420 cSt and can operate effectively up to a maximum contamination level of 20/18/14 per ISO 4406. Its compact design has an internal wetted surface area of approximately 412 cm² (63.9 in²) and weighs around 0.77 kg (1.7 lbs). Installation specifications include a VC20S3 cavity type with no orientation restrictions and a cartridge installation torque requirement between 88 to 102 Nm (65 to 75 ft-lb). Accessories like seal kits (SK20S3XMM) are available for maintenance or replacement needs, ensuring that users have the necessary support for optimal operation and longevity of the valve system in their hydraulic applications.
