The Hydraforce 5008689 (5008689) is a solenoid-operated, 4-port, 3-position, direct-acting spool-type screw-in hydraulic cartridge valve designed for versatile application in hydraulic systems. This model functions by blocking cylinder ports when de-energized, thus allowing flow from port 3 to port 1. Upon energization of coil 1, the valve directs flow from port 3 to port 2 and from port 4 to port 1. Similarly, activation of coil 2 changes the pathway to allow flow from port 3 to port 4 and from port 2 to port 1. This configuration is particularly useful in circuits where work port flows are unequal owing to cylinder ratios; in such cases, directing the higher return flow to port 2 is recommended for optimal performance. The Hydraforce 5008689 features a continuous-duty rated solenoid and boasts a hardened precision spool and cage which enhance its durability and lifespan. Its design includes optional coil voltages and terminations which increase its adaptability for different electrical requirements. Additionally, it offers a manual override option which provides an alternative control method in case of an electronic failure. The valve is also available with optional waterproof E-Coils that are rated up to IP69K, ensuring effective operation even in environments prone to water exposure. Efficient wet-armature construction minimizes energy wastage while maintaining high performance. All ports on this valve can withstand full pressurization which enhances its robustness in various operational conditions. The unit’s cartridges are voltage interchangeable which facilitates easy maintenance and replacement. Moreover, its compact size coupled with an industry-common cavity makes it easy to integrate into existing systems without requiring substantial modifications.
