The Hydraforce FR10-20F-0-N-/3.00 (5412300.3.00) is a screw-in, cartridge-style hydraulic flow regulator valve known for its fixed orifice and pressure-compensated operation. This model is specifically designed to maintain a consistent flow rate from port 1 to port 2, irrespective of changes in load pressure, with a capacity ranging from 0.4 to 22.7 liters per minute (0.1 to 6.0 gallons per minute). The valve is structured for reverse flow through the control orifice, although this return flow is non-compensated. Constructed with hardened parts, the FR10-20F ensures durability and a long lifespan while providing a quiet and modulated response suitable for various hydraulic applications. Its compatibility with industry-common cavity VC102 further enhances its versatility in integration. This model can operate effectively within a broad temperature range—depending on the seal material—from as low as -26°C (-15°F) with fluorocarbon seals up to 107°C (225°F) with polyurethane seals. It also boasts excellent corrosion resistance, enduring up to 960 hours of salt spray per ASTM B117 standards. The FR10-20F is designed for use with mineral-based or synthetic hydraulic fluids that possess lubricating properties, accommodating fluid viscosities from 7.4 to 420 cSt and tolerating maximum operating contamination levels specified by ISO 4406 standards at 18/16/13. Weighing approximately 0.11 kg (0.25 lb), this unit's internal wetted surface area measures around 108 cm² (16.8 in²), ensuring efficient fluid interaction within its compact frame. Installation specifications include a cartridge installation torque of between 34 to 37 Nm (25 to 27 ft-lb) and no orientation restrictions, simplifying setup processes across various systems.
