The Hydraforce FC10-20B-0-N (5410100) is a screw-in, cartridge-style hydraulic flow control valve designed for variable orifice control with a reverse flow check feature. This model is engineered to increase its orifice value from fully closed to fully open through a counterclockwise adjustment rotation. The FC10-20B-0-N is equipped with features that prevent adjustments from being backed out of the valve, allowing desired settings to be securely locked down. It incorporates hardened parts to ensure prolonged durability and offers an aluminum knob as an option for user interface. This valve operates efficiently within a pressure rating of up to 241 bar (3500 psi), with proof pressure at 345 bar (5000 psi) and a burst pressure reaching up to 896 bar (13000 psi). It supports a maximum flow rate of 45.5 liters per minute at fully open position, under a pressure drop of 6.89 bar (100 psi). The FC10-20B-0-N is designed for minimal internal leakage, maintaining stringent control over fluid loss. Temperature versatility is also a key feature of this model, supporting operating fluid temperatures ranging 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. Its storage and ambient temperature tolerances further enhance its adaptability in various environments. The FC10-20B-0-N fits into industry-common cavity VC102 and can be installed without orientation restrictions, providing flexibility in system design. Its compact design weighs approximately 0.15 kg and has an internal wetted surface area of about 96 cm², making it suitable for systems where space efficiency is crucial. This model is also compatible with mineral-based or synthetic hydraulic fluids, accommodating a wide viscosity range from 7.4 to 420 cSt. Overall, the Hydraforce FC10-20B-0-N offers robust performance for controlling hydraulic flow in demanding applications where precision and reliability are essential.
