The Hydraforce PR12-36A-12T-N-30/ (Material Number: 5616984) is a spool type, pilot-operated hydraulic pressure reducing and relieving valve. This device is engineered to regulate pressure within secondary circuits, featuring an internal pilot and spring chamber drain. In its default state, the PR12-36A permits bidirectional flow from port 2 to port 1 while maintaining a drained spring chamber at port 3. Once a specified pressure at port 1 is reached, the spool adjusts to limit inlet flow from port 2, effectively regulating the pressure at port 1. Additionally, it provides relief from port 1 to port 3. The valve includes safety features that prevent adjustments from being backed out and ensure that springs do not become solid during operation. It offers optional spring ranges up to 207 bar (3000 psi). The device holds a maximum pressure rating of 241.3 bar (3500 psi) for ports 1 and 2, with proof pressures reaching up to 517.1 bar (7500 psi) across all ports and a burst pressure rating of 1034 bar (15000 psi). It supports a flow rate of up to 189.2 lpm (50 gpm) and can handle a maximum pilot flow of 0.170 lpm (0.045 gpm) under full adjustment with an inlet pressure of 241 bar (3500 psi). The operating temperature range spans from -40\u00b0C to +100\u00b0C (-40\u00b0F to +212\u00b0F), making it suitable for various environmental conditions when used with Buna N seals. This valve is designed for durable performance with corrosion protection rated for up to 960 hours in salt spray per ASTM B117 standards, ensuring longevity even in harsh conditions. It accommodates fluid viscosities between 7.4 and 420 cSt and maintains cleanliness levels as per ISO standards during operation and shipping, thanks to its robust construction and packaging protocols. The unit weighs approximately between 0.41 kg (0.90 lb) and up depending on the model variant, facilitating easy handling during installation into VC12-3 cavities with specific torque requirements for secure placement.
