The Hydraforce FR08-20F-0-N-/0.50 (5402300.0.50) is a high-performance hydraulic flow regulator valve, designed as a screw-in, cartridge style with a fixed orifice and pressure-compensated functionalities. This restrictive-type valve efficiently maintains a constant flow rate from port 1 to port 2, which is crucial in applications where load pressure variations are common; it ensures stability in the hydraulic system by compensating for these changes. The reverse flow through the valve operates via the control orifice and is non-compensated. Constructed with hardened parts, the FR08-20F-0-N-/0.50 guarantees durability and a long service life, even under rigorous conditions. It features a quiet and modulated response, minimizing operational noise and enhancing performance smoothness. The compact design adheres to industry-common cavity specifications, making it versatile for integration into various hydraulic systems without requiring extensive modifications. Key specifications include a pressure rating of up to 3500 psi, with proof and burst pressures reaching 5000 psi and 13000 psi respectively. It supports fluid flow rates ranging from 0.05 to 2.0 gallons per minute and can operate across a wide temperature range—depending on the seal material—from as low as -15°C with fluorocarbon seals up to +225°F with polyurethane seals. This valve model is suitable for use with mineral-based or synthetic hydraulic fluids that have lubricating properties within a viscosity range of 7.4 to 420 cSt. Its robust construction allows for maximum operating contamination levels as defined by ISO standards (18/16/13 per ISO 4406), ensuring reliability even in environments prone to particulate contamination. For installation, the FR08-20F-0-N-/0.50 utilizes an industry-standard VC082 cavity and can be installed without orientation restrictions, providing flexibility in system design and maintenance processes.
