The Hydraforce FD56-45-0-N-44 (5436544) is a highly versatile screw-in cartridge, spool-type flow divider-combiner valve designed for hydraulic systems. The valve efficiently manages the proportional division of inlet flow or the combination of two return flows, maintaining performance stability across varying system pressures. It is particularly effective in synchronizing flow in both dividing and combining modes, which is crucial for applications requiring precise motion control and fluid handling. This model features hardened parts ensuring durability and a long operational life, alongside a quiet and modulated response that enhances system performance. The FD56-45-0-N-44 operates within a wide flow range, with an inlet flow rating of 25 to 98 liters per minute (6.5 to 26.0 gallons per minute), making it suitable for a broad spectrum of hydraulic applications. It boasts an impressive pressure capability up to 345 bar (5000 psi) standard, with peak pressure excursions permissible up to 420 bar (6090 psi) at a 10% duty cycle. Flow accuracy is maintained within ±10% of the inlet flow for this model code, ensuring reliable performance across its operating parameters. The valve's design includes features like a floating cage for high installation torque and compatibility with industry-common cavity VC164 or HVC164 for high-pressure applications. For temperature resilience, it supports operating fluid temperatures from -40°C to +100°C (-40°F to +212°F) with standard seals, and can handle varying temperatures depending on the seal material used—extending its usability across different environmental conditions. The FD56-45-0-N-44 also supports diverse hydraulic fluids including mineral-based or synthetic types with lubricating properties within a viscosity range of 7.4 to 420 cSt. Overall, the Hydraforce FD56-45-0-N-44 offers robust construction and flexible performance parameters tailored for demanding hydraulic applications where precision flow dividing and combining are necessary.
