The Hydraforce FR12-23C-0-N-XXXX (5423402) is a high-performance, screw-in, adjustable pressure compensated flow regulator valve cartridge designed for precise fluid control in hydraulic systems. This model maintains a consistent flow rate from port 2 irrespective of pressure variations within the circuit when the inlet is at port 1. It features a reverse flow check to ensure correct operation and directional flow control. The valve operates by increasing its opening from fully closed to fully open through counterclockwise adjustment rotation. Constructed with hardened parts, the FR12-23C-0-N-XXXX ensures durability and long life while providing a quiet and modulated response, making it ideal for applications requiring reliable performance and minimal noise. The valve's compatibility with both mineral-based and synthetic fluids with lubricating properties enhances its versatility across different hydraulic setups. With a robust design, the FR12-23C-0-N-XXXX can handle pressures up to 3500 psi, proof pressures up to 5000 psi, and burst pressures up to 13000 psi. It supports a maximum flow rate of 20 gallons per minute (75.7 liters per minute) with maximum internal leakage of merely 0.03 gallons per minute when fully closed. This model accommodates a wide range of operating temperatures depending on the seal material: from -40°C to +100°C with Buna N seals, -26°C to +204°C with Viton seals, and -54°C to +107°C with polyurethane seals. The FR12-23C-0-N-XXXX is designed for easy installation in standard VC122B cavities without orientation restrictions, ensuring flexibility in system design and maintenance. Its compact dimensions and various weight options (ranging from 0.48 lb to 0.55 lb depending on the configuration) make it suitable for various industrial applications where space efficiency and precise fluid regulation are required.
