The Hydraforce FD56-45-0-N-88 (5436588) is a screw-in cartridge, spool-type flow divider/combiner valve designed for hydraulic systems. This valve excels in providing pressure-compensated proportional division of inlet flow or combining two return flows, ensuring consistent performance regardless of system pressure conditions. It features a wide operating flow range from 57 to 167 liters per minute (15.0 to 44.0 gallons per minute), tailored specifically for model code 88. Key characteristics include hardened parts for enhanced durability and a quiet, modulated response that contributes to stable system operation. The valve is also noted for its ability to synchronize flow in both dividing and combining modes, which is critical in applications requiring precise flow management. The floating cage design allows for high installation torque and compatibility with industry common cavity VC164 or HVC164 for higher pressure applications. Constructed to handle pressures up to 420 bar (6090 psi) with a duty cycle of 10%, and a pressure drop of 24 bar (300 psi) at maximum inlet flow, this valve is robust enough for demanding environments. Temperature tolerance ranges significantly depending on the seal material used—from -40°C to +100°C with Buna N seals and up to +204°C with fluorocarbon seals—offering flexibility in various operating conditions. Additionally, the FD56-45-0-N-88 maintains fluid viscosity range from 7.4 to 420 cSt and accommodates maximum operating contamination levels as specified by ISO 4406 standards. Weighing approximately 0.38 kg, it provides an internal wetted surface area of about 403 cm², ensuring efficient fluid dynamics within the system. Suitable accessories like seal kits are available for maintenance and ensure prolonged operational integrity of the valve assembly in hydraulic circuits.
