The Hydraforce FR12-20F-0-N-/8.00 (5422300.8.00) is a high-quality hydraulic flow regulator valve, specifically designed for robust and efficient fluid control in hydraulic systems. This model is a screw-in, cartridge-style valve that features a fixed orifice and is pressure compensated to maintain a constant flow rate from port 1 to port 2 regardless of load pressure changes. The reverse flow through this valve returns through the control orifice and is non-compensated. Key specifications include a pressure rating of up to 3500 psi (240 bar), and it can handle flow rates ranging from 1.0 to 14.5 gallons per minute (4.0 to 55 liters per minute). The FR12-20F-0-N-/8.00 operates effectively within a fluid temperature range of -40°C to +100°C (-40°F to +212°F) with standard Buna N seals, and can handle temperatures from -26°C up to +204°C (15°F to +400°F) when equipped with fluorocarbon seals. This model is constructed with hardened parts ensuring longevity and durability in demanding environments, while its quiet, modulated response enhances system stability and performance. It's designed for use with mineral-based or synthetic hydraulic fluids that have lubricating properties, supporting fluid viscosities ranging from 7.4 to 420 cSt. Installation specifications for the FR12-20F-0-N-/8.00 are straightforward due to its VC122 cavity design, requiring an installation torque of 45 to 50 Nm (33 to 37 ft-lb), with a maximum allowable torque of up to 68 Nm (50 ft-lb). There are no orientation restrictions for this valve's installation, making it versatile for various system configurations. Additionally, the valve has an internal wetted surface area of approximately 162 cm² (25 in²) and weighs around 0.25 kg (0.56 lb), ensuring minimal impact on system weight and space requirements.
