The Hydraforce FD56-45-12T-N-66 (5436858) is a high-performance screw-in cartridge, spool-type flow divider/combiner valve. It efficiently handles the proportional division of inlet flow or the combining of two return flows within hydraulic systems, ensuring operation stability across various pressure conditions. This model is particularly notable for its ability to synchronize flow in both dividing and combining modes, making it an ideal choice for applications requiring precise flow management. Constructed with hardened parts, the FD56-45-12T-N-66 offers extended durability and a quiet, modulated response under operation. It features a wide operating flow range from 32 to 128 liters per minute (8.5 to 34.0 gallons per minute), suitable for diverse hydraulic needs. The valve's design includes a floating cage which allows for high installation torque and compatibility with industry-standard cavity VC164 or HVC164 for higher pressure applications. In terms of performance specifics, the valve can maintain flow accuracy within ±10% for most models and ±15% for larger configurations under varying conditions. It supports operating fluid temperatures ranging from -40°C to +100°C (-40°F to +212°F) with Buna N seals, and up to +204°C (400°F) with fluorocarbon seals, accommodating a broad spectrum of fluid types and viscosities from 7.4 to 420 cSt. Additionally, this model has no orientation restrictions during installation and offers optional seal kits such as SK164XMMM or SK164UOOO for enhanced sealing based on application requirements. The robust design and advanced functionality make the Hydraforce FD56-45-12T-N-66 an essential component in systems demanding reliable flow division and combination.
