The Hydraforce FC08-20F-0-N-F10 (5404009) is a high-performance flow control valve with reverse flow check capabilities, designed for hydraulic applications requiring precise flow regulation and fluid control. The valve functions primarily as a restrictor in the 2 to 1 direction while facilitating free flow from the 1 to 2 path, making it versatile in managing directional fluid dynamics. Its construction includes a hardened spool and cage, ensuring durability and longevity even under rigorous conditions. This model boasts significant pressure handling capabilities with a maximum pressure rating of 3500 psi, proof pressure of 5000 psi, and an impressive burst pressure of 13000 psi. It supports a wide range of operating temperatures: from -40 to +212 degrees Fahrenheit with standard Buna N seals, up to +400 degrees Fahrenheit with fluorocarbon seals, and between +65 to +225 degrees Fahrenheit when equipped with polyurethane seals. This range ensures operational reliability across diverse environmental conditions. The FC08-20F-0-N-F10 is engineered for use with mineral-based or synthetic hydraulic fluids that possess lubricating properties, accommodating fluid viscosities from 7.4 to 420 cSt. It maintains performance integrity up to a maximum operating contamination level as specified by ISO4406 standards. The unit's compact design and industry-standard cavity (VC082) facilitate easy installation without orientation restrictions, supporting various system configurations with adjustable torque settings for cartridge installation ranging from 18 to 20 ft-lb. Overall, the Hydraforce FC08-20F-0-N-F10 offers robust construction and flexible application options ideal for systems requiring reliable flow control and check functionalities within hydraulic circuits.
