The Hydraforce PR12-36C-0-N-30/ (5616923) is a high-performance spool type, pilot-operated hydraulic pressure reducing/relieving valve. It is specifically designed to regulate pressure in secondary circuits with an internal pilot and spring chamber drain. In its default state, the valve allows bidirectional flow from port 2 to port 1 while maintaining a constant drain at port 3. When the pressure at port 1 reaches a set threshold, the spool shifts to restrict inlet flow from port 2, effectively regulating the pressure at port 1 and relieving excess pressure to port 3. The valve has a robust pressure rating of up to 241.3 bar (3500 psi) at ports 1 and 2, with a lower rating of 103.4 bar (1500 psi) at port 3. It can withstand proof pressures of up to 517.1 bar (7500 psi) and burst pressures reaching an impressive 1034 bar (15000 psi). The PR12-36C model supports flow rates up to 189.2 lpm (50 gpm) and operates efficiently across a wide temperature range from -40 to 100 \u00b0C (-40 to 212 \u00b0F) with buna N seals. Its construction ensures excellent corrosion protection, enduring up to 960 hours in salt spray conditions per ASTM B117 standards. The valve is compatible with mineral-based or synthetic fluids that possess lubricating properties and supports fluid viscosities ranging from 7.4 to 420 cSt. Installation requires a VC12-3 cavity with specific torque requirements for cartridge installation and H-style plug torque settings. For maintenance, seal kits are available under part number SK12-3X-BM, ensuring ease of serviceability while maintaining cleanliness during handling and shipping operations.
