The Hydraforce FC12-20B-12T-N (5420057) is a high-performance, screw-in, cartridge-style hydraulic flow control valve designed for precision fluid handling and control in hydraulic systems. This model features a variable orifice that can adjust from fully closed to fully open with a counterclockwise rotation, providing linear adjustment and positive shutoff capabilities. Engineered for durability and reliability, it includes hardened parts to ensure a long operational life and an optional aluminum knob for enhanced usability. The FC12-20B-12T-N is equipped with a reverse flow check to prevent backflow and maintain system integrity. It supports a maximum flow rate of 45.4 liters per minute at full openness with minimal internal leakage, making it suitable for various hydraulic applications where flow control is critical. The valve operates effectively within a pressure range up to 3500 psi, with proof pressures up to 5000 psi and burst pressures reaching 13000 psi. Temperature resilience is another key feature, with operating fluid temperatures ranging from -40°C to +100°C using standard seals, and up to +204°C with fluorocarbon seals. It accommodates a wide range of fluid viscosities from 7.4 to 420 cSt, ensuring versatility across different hydraulic fluids. For installation flexibility, the FC12-20B-12T-N does not have orientation restrictions and fits into VC122 cavities commonly used in the industry. It weighs approximately 0.29 kg depending on the configuration chosen (options range from A to E), making it lightweight yet robust for various industrial applications. Additional accessories like seal kits are available for maintenance and customization purposes, enhancing its adaptability in complex hydraulic setups.
