NEW Dual-Function Solenoid Valve for both Bypass Unloading and Pressure Relief

HydraForce SVRV10-26 dual-function cartridge valves combine the features of a normally-open solenoid valve with an integral non-adjustable relief valve. It is designed to be both cost-efficient and compact in hydraulic circuits incorporating both a bypass unloading function, as well as system pressure protection.

This valve can be used in a wide variety of system applications. An example motor control circuit is shown below. In the de-energized position, pump flow is bypassed to the tank, allowing the motors to remain in the neutral condition. When the SVRV valve is energized, flow is directed to the motor, while the maximum motor torque is regulated by the setting of the SVRVVs integral relief valve.

The SVRV relief setting is fixed and non-adjustable. There are five standard pressure setting options, ranging from 104 bar (1500 psi) to 240 bar (3500 psi). Others can be made available upon OEM request. The SVRV10-26 is rated for flow up to 75 lpm (20 gpm) and pressure to 310 bar (4500 psi). Standard HydraForce 10-size DD and EE Series coils are used on the cartridge.

The new SVRV multi-function valve was developed to allow a smaller and lighter valve package, while simultaneously reducing the cost of both manifold machining and assembly by combining two functions into a single valve.

HydraForce is committed to continuing innovation in the design, manufacture, and application of hydraulic and electro-hydraulic control components and systems for the material handling and heavy-duty mobile equipment OEM industries.

Eaton EPA-Certified Tubing And Hose Help Customers

Eaton EPA-Certified Tubing And Hose Help Customers
Meet Sustainability Requirements For Reduced Evaporative Emissions

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. Diversified industrial manufacturer Eaton Corporation today announced that two hose and tubing products designed to help customers reduce evaporative emissions and meet mandated sustainability requirements have received Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) certification. The products, the EH049 ESPP
tubing and EH089 ESPP hose, are intended for use in marine, gas powered lawn care machines, gas and diesel powered turf equipment, and garden equipment fuel systems.

EH049 ESP tubing and EH089 ESP hose utilize a multi-layer
construction including a polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDV) barrier,
polyester reinforcement and a black melt-processible rubber (MPR)
cover to achieve hydrocarbon permeation rates of less than 5 g/m2 per
day while providing excellent strength and flexibility. Both products
can be used with gasoline, petroleum-based chemicals, and bio-diesel
fuel up to B100.


This EPA certification covers EPA-mandated evaporative emissions
requirements for fuel systems taking effect in 2010, 2011, and 2012,,
says Mike Henning, Eaton senior product manager. It also covers
California Air Resources Board (CARB) requirements, SAE J1527R1,
J30R6, R9, and R11 specifications, and the International Marine
Certification Institutees Recreational Craft Directive 94/25/EC..

EH049 ESP tubing and EH089 ESP hose are suitable for virtually any
tank-to-engine application on marine or turf equipment with an
operating temperature range of -25F to +150F (-32C to +66C). Both
are available in cut lengths, coils, reels, and custom colors.

Eatonns Hydraulics Group provides customer-driven solutions under
product names such as Aeroquipp, Bostonn, Char-Lynnn, Eatonn, Hydro-
Linee, Synflexx, Vickerss, Walterscheidd, and Weatherheadd. For more
