The Hydraforce FC10-20A-0-N (5410000) is a screw-in, cartridge-style, variable orifice hydraulic flow control valve designed for precise fluid handling with the added feature of a reverse flow check. This model stands out for its robust construction and operational reliability, featuring hardened parts that ensure longevity even under rigorous conditions. The FC10-20A-0-N valve facilitates smooth and linear adjustment from fully closed to fully open through a counterclockwise rotation, which can be securely locked down to maintain desired settings without the risk of adjustments backing out. This valve is engineered to handle a maximum flow of 45.5 liters per minute at 100 psi when fully open and boasts impressive pressure ratings with a standard operating pressure up to 3500 psi, proof pressure at 5000 psi, and a burst pressure reaching up to 13000 psi. It accommodates a wide range of operating temperatures depending on the seal material used—from -40°C to +212°F with Buna N seals, up to +400°F with fluorocarbon seals, and between +65°F and +225°F with polyurethane seals. The FC10-20A-0-N is compatible with both mineral-based and synthetic hydraulic fluids within a viscosity range of 7.4 to 420 cSt, ensuring versatile application across various hydraulic systems without orientation restrictions during installation (cavity VC102). Additional features include options for aluminum knobs and various seal configurations (Buna N, fluorocarbon, polyurethane) tailored to different environmental conditions or operational requirements. This model's design also allows for minimal internal leakage (max 0.5 ml/min), optimizing system efficiency.
