The Hydraforce FR12-30F-0-N-/9.00 (5423300.9.00) is a screw-in, cartridge-style, pressure-compensated, non-adjustable hydraulic flow regulator valve, designed for efficient flow control in hydraulic systems. This model can function as a priority type flow regulator, which primarily delivers the pump flow to priority port 3 and subsequently bypasses any excess to port 2. Alternatively, it can operate as a restrictive type 2-way flow regulator when the bypass port 2 is blocked. The valve ensures a consistent flow rate from port 3 irrespective of fluctuating pressures downstream of priority port 3 or in the bypass leg at port 2. It is engineered to handle all ports being fully pressurized, making it versatile for various hydraulic applications. The FR12-30F-0-N-/9.00 features hardened components that enhance its durability and longevity while ensuring quiet and modulated response during operation. Key specifications include a pressure rating of up to 241 bar (3500 psi), with proof pressure at 345 bar (5000 psi) and burst pressure reaching up to 896 bar (13000 psi). It supports priority flow rates ranging from 0.4 to 49.2 liters per minute (lpm) and an inlet flow rating up to 94.6 lpm (25 gpm maximum). The valve accommodates a wide range of operating temperatures depending on seal material—from -26°C to +204°C with fluorocarbon seals—and is compatible with mineral-based or synthetic hydraulic fluids with lubricating properties within a viscosity range of 7.4 to 420 cSt. This unit's robust design includes an internal wetted surface area of approximately 221 cm² and weighs around 0.29 kg (0.64 lb). Installation features such as a VC123 cavity for size-compatible integration and no orientation restrictions facilitate ease of use across various hydraulic setups, supported further by available accessories like seal kits and custom housings for specific applications.
