The Hydraforce FR12-33A-0-N-XXXX (5423501) is a sophisticated flow control valve designed for high-performance hydraulic systems. This screw-in, adjustable, pressure-compensated, priority type flow control valve with reverse flow check offers precise management of fluid dynamics in complex applications. The valve operates by increasing the regulated flow from closed to fully open with counterclockwise adjustment rotation and maintains the set flow despite variations in pressure at the regulated or bypass port. Key features of the FR12-33A-0-N-XXXX include its ability to fully pressurize the bypass port 2, which enhances its versatility in various hydraulic circuits. The valve components are made from hardened steel, ensuring durability and a long service life even under harsh conditions. Additionally, it is designed for quiet operation and modulated response which minimizes system noise and improves performance consistency. The valve boasts impressive pressure ratings with a maximum operating pressure of 241 bar (3500 psi), proof pressure up to 345 bar (5000 psi), and burst pressure reaching 896 bar (13000 psi). Flow ratings are equally robust with an inlet flow rating up to 114 lpm (30.0 gpm maximum) and a priority flow rating of up to 68 lpm (18.0 gpm maximum). It also features minimal internal leakage specifications. Temperature tolerance ranges are broad, supporting various operational environments: from -40°C to +100°C (-40°F to +212°F) when equipped with standard Buna N seals, and up to higher temperatures with fluorocarbon or polyurethane seals. The FR12-33A-0-N-XXXX fits into industry-common cavity VC123, allowing for straightforward installation across multiple applications without orientation restrictions. This valve is ideal for applications requiring precise control over fluid handling within hydraulic systems, ensuring efficient operation across a wide range of pressures and temperatures while maintaining consistent performance levels under varying load conditions.
