The Hydraforce FD52-45-0-N-44 (5436444) is a robust screw-in cartridge, spool-type flow divider/combiner valve designed for hydraulic systems. This model efficiently manages the proportional division of inlet flow or combines two return flows, maintaining balance despite varying system pressures. It is optimized for synchronizing flow in both dividing and combining operations, making it suitable for applications requiring precise flow management. Constructed with hardened parts, the FD52-45-0-N-44 ensures durability and a long operational life. It operates quietly with a modulated response and is compatible with a wide range of operating flows from 15 to 60 liters per minute (4.0 to 16.0 gallons per minute). The valve features a floating cage that allows high installation torque and utilizes an industry-common cavity VC124 or HVC124 for higher pressure applications up to 6090 psi (420 bar). The unit is designed to handle mineral-based or synthetic hydraulic fluids with lubricating properties within a viscosity range of 7.4 to 420 cSt. It functions effectively within an operating fluid temperature range of -40°C to +100°C (-40°F to +212°F) with Buna N seals, accommodating more extreme temperatures with alternative seal materials. This valve's design includes corrosion protection up to 960 hours salt spray per ASTM B117, ensuring reliability in harsh environments. The FD52-45-0-N-44 weighs approximately 0.24 kg (0.53 lb) and has an internal wetted surface area of about 238 cm² (43.8 in²). Installation specifications recommend cartridge installation torques ranging from 99 to 104 Nm (73 to 77 ft-lb), increasing up to 156 to 169 Nm (115 to 125 ft-lb) for high-pressure applications. Overall, the Hydraforce FD52-45-0-N-44 offers precision flow control in demanding hydraulic applications, marked by its adaptability, robustness, and efficiency in operation.
