The Hydraforce EC12-32-0-N-160 (5428421) is a screw-in, cartridge-style, load sense, flow on demand, pressure compensator valve designed for precise hydraulic fluid control. This model operates by delivering the required flow at port 3 when inlet flow is present at port 2, regardless of the load pressure sensed at port 1. To enhance stability in operation, it is recommended to install a 0.53 mm orifice in the load sense line at port 1. The EC12-32-0-N-160 is equipped with a range of compensator springs and features hardened parts for increased durability and a longer lifespan. It ensures a quiet and modulated response, suitable for systems requiring reliable and efficient pressure compensation. The valve fits within an industry-common cavity, making it versatile for integration into various hydraulic systems. This model can handle pressures up to 3500 psi and supports different flow rates up to 30 gpm depending on the compensating spring used. It accommodates a wide range of operating temperatures from -40°C to +100°C with Buna N seals and can handle even higher temperatures with other seal types. The EC12-32-0-N-160 has been tested for corrosion resistance with over 960 hours of salt spray per ASTM B117 standards. Additional specifications include internal wetted surface areas, installation torque requirements, and no orientation restrictions during installation, providing flexibility in various mounting scenarios. Seal kits such as SK123XMM are available for maintenance or replacement needs, ensuring long-term performance and reliability of the valve system in demanding operational conditions.
