The Hydraforce RV16-26A-16T-N-03 (Material Number: 5623560) is a high-performance, screw-in, cartridge-style pilot-operated relief valve designed for demanding hydraulic circuits requiring fast response and low hysteresis. This two-stage spool type valve effectively limits pressure by blocking flow from port 1 to port 2 until the pressure at port 1 is sufficient to activate the piloting relief. Upon activation, the main spool shifts, allowing flow between the ports. It is important to note that this valve is not suitable for cross-over relief applications. The RV16-26A-16T-N-03 boasts impressive pressure ratings, with a maximum pressure rating of 275.8 bar (4000 psi), proof pressure of 620.5 bar (9000 psi), and burst pressure of 1275.5 bar (18500 psi). The relief pressure range spans from 27.6 to 344.7 bar (140 to 3500 psi), adaptable with control current adjustments. In terms of flow capabilities, it supports a maximum flow rate of up to 302.8 liters per minute (80 gallons per minute) at maximum pressure, while maintaining internal leakage rates within specified limits based on crack pressures and settings above or below specific thresholds. The operating temperature range varies depending on seal material: -40 to 100 \u00b0C with Buna N seals, -26 to 204 \u00b0C with fluorocarbon seals, and -54 to 107 \u00b0C with polyurethane seals. The valve fits into VC16-2 cavities and requires installation torque between 62.7 and 73.4 N-m (46 to 54 ft-lb). It supports various fluid types within a viscosity range of 7.4 to 420 cSt and maintains optimal performance in environments meeting ISO contamination levels of up to 18/16/13. The unit's wetted surface area varies slightly based on specific configurations but remains efficient for its intended applications in hydraulic systems demanding precise control over pressure limits.
