The Hydraforce 5008646 (5008646) is a solenoid-operated, 4-port, 3-position, direct-acting spool-type screw-in hydraulic cartridge valve designed for versatile hydraulic flow management in various applications. This valve uniquely features a configuration that blocks all ports when de-energized, ensuring a fail-safe operation. The activation of coil 1 allows hydraulic flow from port 3 to port 4 and from port 2 to port 1, whereas energizing coil 2 directs the flow from port 3 to port 2 and from port 4 to port 1. This functionality makes it ideal for systems where work port flows are unequal due to cylinder ratios, with a recommendation that higher return flows be directed to port 2. The Hydraforce 5008646 is continuously duty rated and incorporates a hardened precision spool and cage that enhance its durability and lifespan under rigorous conditions. It also offers optional coil voltages and terminations, adding flexibility for system integration across different equipment setups. A manual override option provides additional control for operators in managing hydraulic flows manually during system checks or emergencies. Further enhancing its utility are optional waterproof E-Coils rated up to IP69K, ensuring reliable performance in environments exposed to high-pressure washdowns. Its efficient wet-armature construction along with the ability for all ports to be fully pressurized supports robust operation in a compact unit size. The cartridges are voltage interchangeable which simplifies maintenance and reduces inventory needs for various machine configurations. Additionally, its industry-common cavity design facilitates easy installation and compatibility with standard setups, making the Hydraforce 5008646 an optimal choice for enhancing hydraulic system efficiency and reliability.
