The Hydraforce PR08-32B-0-N-03 (Material Number 5606100) is a screw-in, cartridge-style, direct-acting spool type hydraulic pressure reducing/relieving valve. It features an internal pilot and internal spring chamber drain, making it ideal for pressure regulation in secondary circuits with stable input flow. In its steady state, the PR08-32B allows bidirectional flow from port 2 to port 1 while maintaining a constant drain at port 3. Upon reaching a predetermined pressure at port 1, the valve shifts to block flow at port 2, thus regulating the pressure at port 1. Additionally, the valve can relieve pressure from port 1 to port 3 over the set reducing pressure. Notably, adjustments on this valve cannot be backed out and are designed to prevent springs from going solid. The valve offers optional spring ranges up to 152 bar (2200 psi) and is constructed with hardened spool and cage for extended durability. The PR08-32B operates under various conditions with specific ratings: a maximum pressure rating of 241.3 bar (3500 psi) for ports 1 and 2, and 103.4 bar (1500 psi) for port 3; proof pressure reaches up to 517.1 bar (7500 psi), while burst pressure is rated at an impressive 896.3 bar (13000 psi). The flow rating stands at 11.4 lpm (3 gpm), with maximum internal leakage of up to 82 ml/min under certain conditions. Temperature-wise, it accommodates operating fluid temperatures ranging from -40\u00b0C to +100\u00b0C with Buna N seals and has storage and ambient temperature capabilities between -40\u00b0C to +70\u00b0C. The unit weighs approximately 0.25 kg (0.56 lb) and fits into VC08-3 cavities with installation torque specifications of up to 28.5 N-m (21 ft-lb). This compact valve also boasts corrosion protection through Type III clear zinc plating per ASTM B633 standards, ensuring longevity even in challenging environments.
